Gateway

The Gateway programme encompasses theory and practical unit standards between Levels 1 and 3. Theory work is reinforced with real-life industry work experience, giving students a taste of what a career in the primary sector is truly like.

Currently, we offer packages of learning across the sectors listed below:

• Dairy farming
• Sheep, beef and deer
• Aquaculture
• Equine
• Horticulture
• Sports turf
• Wool handling and
• Shearing. 

Our services to schools 

As part of the programme, we're proud to offer the following services to schools:

• Comprehensive learning and resource packages for school students
• Assisting schools in getting to know your local industry employer
• Helping students make career decisions
• Assisting with industry placements
• Assessment of practical unit standards
• Assistance with field trips.

Help with work experience

As part of our Gateway packages, we can assist your school with placing your students in a primary industry work placement. We have both the contacts and knowledge to help match a student to the right work placement. This work placement can lead to future employment within the primary sector, often within the same workplace.
