Vocational Pathways has started strong this year, with both Academy and Gateway students attending a two-day first aid course. This course was a prerequisite for attending Unitec workshops, NZMA for Hospitality/Chef training and Gateway work experience placements.

Our Vocational Pathways students were excited to apply the first aid theory they had learnt to various scenarios, including a (mock) car accident and (mock) BBQ flare-ups. These students have everything they need to apply these skills in a home or work setting.

Some exciting and aspiring career choices have been chosen this year, including:

• Accounting
• Animal husbandry
• Aviation 
• Building/Construction
• Business management
• Customs/Police
• Engineering/Civil
• Flight Attendant/Tourism
• Hospitality
• I.T./Computers & game design
• Interior Design
• Makeup artistry
• Personal Training
• Plumber/Electrician
• Outdoor Education instructor
• Sales/Customer Services
• Teaching & Early Childhood Education
• Warehousing

If students (year 11-13) want to gain customer service skills or skills in another specific area of interest for a future career option, come and see the Academy or Gateway teachers and see if Vocational Pathways (in C Block) can help you take that next step. Limited spaces are available; could one of these be yours?
