If your school wants to be involved with Skills Active unit standards, this information is for you!
Skills Active works with schools to assist them to provide learning and assessment opportunities in the workplace through the Gateway programme.
What opportunities are available?
Skills Active has developed programmes in the Community Recreation and Fitness sectors. Skills Active does not have approved programmes for the Sport, Outdoor Recreation, Snowsport, Dive and Nga Mahi a te Rehia sectors.
What are the criteria to offer a Skills Active Gateway Programme?
Below are some of key criteria that must be met before a school can offer a Skills Active Gateway Programme:
-
Student placement must be at a Skills Active Registered Workplace. This ensures that the student will be provided with structured workplace learning and assessment.
-
Schools taking part in the Skills Active Gateway programme must sign a contract, in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), between the school, the workplace, and Skills Active. The MOU records each party’s obligations, the learning programme and the contract’s timeframe. Please note that there is a cost for the administration of the MOU (see below).
-
Each student must have an individual learning plan detailing the proposed duration of placement, learning goals and industry specific unit standards. This must be established prior to the programme commencing.
-
Each student is required to use Skills Active learning and assessment resources to complete the requirements of the unit standards. Please note that there is a cost for the purchase of the resources (see below).
-
All MOU paperwork must be completed and sent to Skills Active for processing prior to the start of the programme.
How much does it cost?
Your school will be charged the following:
- $150 (including GST) for each set of learning and assessment resources per student
- $75 (plus GST) for the administration and processing of each MOU
