School programmes

Schools can help students gain skills, knowledge and contacts to make a start on a career in the road transport and logistics industries.

Gateway Programme

The Gateway programme helps schools make learning relevant and broadens students’ options by offering them structured workplace learning. It is administered by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC).

Gateway students are placed in a wide variety of industries including Road Transport. They follow an individual learning programme that allows them to gain new skills and knowledge in a workplace in their local community. The learning is hands-on and practical and much more than just work experience. Students are assessed in the workplace for unit standards which contribute to NCEA as well as industry specific qualifications.

For some students the opportunity to go into the workplace through the Gateway Programme is one way of getting some work experience and even a potential start with an employer while continuing to study at school.
