Youth programmes
The Gateway programme is designed to strengthen the pathway for learners to progress from school to workplace learning. Gateway is available to state and integrated secondary schools. It supports senior secondary students (Year 11 to Year 13) undertaking structured workplace learning across a range of industries and businesses around New Zealand while continuing to study at school.
