A Secondary Tertiary Alignment Resource (STAR) course allows secondary school students to train for a specific career or study at a tertiary level. Students participate in short-term courses or ‘taster courses’ for a few days at a time, or one day per week for several weeks; or longer-term courses leading into Gateway.
Gateway courses are longer term programmes which lead to industry unit standard qualifications. Gateway courses are tailored for secondary school students and are structured around work-based learning, allowing them to learn and work while still at school and experience what they will do in a work place.
We liaise with many community groups around the country whether it’s Maori or Pasifika, we don’t just cater for the youth we also have a strong adult presence who are up-skilling to further their knowledge which they didn’t have when they were young. Our industry partners are important as they allow our students for work experience before they graduate. We are happy to visit schools around the region to arrange a visit and talk to your students. Please contact us to have a chat.
