Careerforce has added a suite of targeted Foundation packages to its Gateway options for high schools.
The new packages are designed to make selecting unit standards simple. They provide a foundation of core knowledge at Level 2 and Level 3 to give senior students experience of the health, youth, and cleaning sectors, while gaining 15 to 20 credits towards NCEA.
Units within the packages will go towards completing a full qualification if students later move into workplace training.
Hastings Girls’ High School student, Ahnaliyah Maas is passionate about working with young people and wants to help create a better future for them.
“I’m beyond grateful for the influence of youth leaders in my life, and want to have the same impact on others,” says the teenager.
Thanks to a school Gateway programme run through industry training organisation, Careerforce, Ahnaliyah has successfully completed the NZ Certificate in Youth Work Level 3.
