Enabling Careers Packages Gateway and Vocational Pathways
Vocational Pathways
Careerforce has worked closely with the Ministry of Education, workplaces and secondary schools to develop a Vocational Pathway programme for the Social and Community Services Pathway.
Vocational Pathways (VP) will help students gain a better understanding of the workplace and the qualifications and skills required by industry.
The Programme is focused on students gaining National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA) Level 2, a Vocational Pathway Award and then identifying their possible career journey.
A student who completes the Programme focused on “Understanding the health and community support services sector” will demonstrate ability to: Develop key foundational concepts, knowledge and skills relevant in the Health and Community Support
Services sectors – through understanding such features as history, key roles, delivery mechanisms, and social/economic systems including funding, etc.
Understand the importance of identity, language and culture for Māori and all other cultures, and the use of effective, culturally appropriate communication skills to support clients, their families/whanau, and as a member of a responsible care team.
Understand vulnerability and its causes - through consideration of the impact of vulnerability upon a range of cohorts/groups across the wider community.
Understand and use health, sciences, English, social sciences, technologies and mathematics and statistics in contexts across the Social and Community Services sector.
It is recommended that a student planning to go directly to work in the Social and Community sector completes the NCEA Level 2 and the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (40 credits) (NZQA ref. 2469)1.
Some workplaces will require students to complete specific industry unit standards in the workplace to meet their Service Provision and Contractual requirements e.g. Service providers in the home, residential or community setting. Student’s programmes should be tailored to meet their sector interest and ensure that they meet the workplace’s (employment) requirements.
Schools interested in developing a VP for the Social and Community Services may wish to view the Vocational Pathways Learning Programme example published on the Ministry of Education website:
http://youthguarantee.net.nz/vocational-pathways/education-providers-/guidance-for-educators/social-and-community-services-pathway/
or www.youthguarantee.net.nz and follow
1 The New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 2) consists of a Compulsory requirement (26 credits) and an Elective requirement (14 credits). (NZQA ref. 2469). For learners wanting a career pathway into the health and wellbeing sectors (including: health, home & community, aged support, and disability support) they will need to complete US 23686. It is recommended that learner’s programmes include a minimum of 80 hours of work experience. Although work experience is recommended, for students to achieve the qualification through this pathway, work placement is required.

I see the potential in young people and help them with life skills. I give them an opportunity for leadership. I’ve really got the best role. I like the challenges – I just enjoy it! Phil Nuu Youth Development Worker
Gateway
The purpose of the Careerforce Gateway packages is to enable schools to provide students (Year 11 – 13+) with opportunities to access structured workplace learning. Where possible, Careerforce has aligned Gateway packages to the Vocational Pathways. Unit standards within each package are referenced against a Vocational Pathway if applicable.
Careerforce Packages
Whether part of a Gateway programme or Vocational Pathways programme, Careerforce packages include both theory learning and practical application. All assessment is unit standard based with industry work experience.
Careerforce offers the following services:
Helping schools identify pathways for their students so that they tailor their student’s programmes to meet their individual sector interest
Providing comprehensive learning and resource packages
Assisting schools in getting to know local industry employers
Assisting schools with industry placements
Assessment of unit standards once completed
Expectations of Industry Training Undertaken in Schools
Careerforce unit standards must be assessed with industry in mind. The expectation is that students will be able to utilise the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they have gained at school, within the sectors Careerforce represents. Learning should be carried out in an applied manner. Students should be given opportunities to practice and use the skills that they have learned, and apply industry experience and context to the knowledge that they are gaining.

CAREERFORCE – ENABLING CAREERS Page | 7
Careerforce Services and Fees It is recommended that Gateway Coordinators and Careers Advisors tailor their student’s programmes to meet the student’s individual sector interest and ensure that they meet the workplace’s (employment) requirements. Careerforce has provided some examples of 20 credit packages which Gateway Coordinators can use as a guide to support their student’s interests.
Fee Per Student to achieve up to 23 credits from:
NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing Level 2 • NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing Level 3 • NZ Certificate in Youth Work Level 3
Fee includes:
Careerforce assisting schools in finding a suitable work placement where possible
Careerforce will arrange for the assessment of each student to complete their chosen unit standards
A Careerforce Registered Assessor will assess and report the unit standard(s) at the completion of the unit standards they have selected
Careerforce will report to NZQA unit standard achievement that has been assessed by a Careerforce registered assessor
Careerforce will request a certificate from NZQA if a student completes a full New Zealand Certificate
School Package $450 (inc GST) The Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) records each party’s obligations when placing a student into industry-based learning, including arrangements for assessment and reporting results to NZQA. (See below). Careerforce will assist to help find an industry placement if required but cannot guarantee placements.

Reporting Credits to NZQA
The Careerforce registered assessor will assess the students, reporting credit achievement through the Careerforce iportal site. We will report unit standard achievement to NZQA. Schools are not permitted to use the Careerforce provider code to report credits to NZQA due to moderation requirements.
CAREERFORCE – ENABLING CAREERS Page | 8
Appeals
In the event of a disagreement or query about assessment, the students and/or Gateway Coordinator should speak to the local Careerforce Workplace Advisor. If the problem is not resolved, the school Principal’s Nominee should contact the Careerforce National Moderator to negotiate a way forward: [email protected]
Gateway Support for Students
In any Careerforce programme, learning is always supported by a person who has the appropriate industry knowledge and experience. It is important that the same support is in place for Gateway students engaged in a Careerforce Gateway Package. Some schools may have an appropriately qualified teacher who is available to assist Gateway students with their learning.
Gateway support people could include any of the following: Appropriately qualified teacher, retired industry professional or Gateway industry placement employer
Practical Application - Assessment
Assessment in the industry placement occurs throughout the duration of the programme and is evidenced by the student’s capability in the skills required to complete the tasks associated with the unit standards. It is usually carried out in the workplace with guides and other material provided by Careerforce. Careerforce registered assessors can be workplace-based and assess students during their work placement, or they may be mobile and work at various workplaces independently.
Assessors manage the marking process within the workplace, evaluating students against the criteria for each unit standard they are working towards. They monitor the progress of students towards achievement of each unit standard and provide support and mentoring. Assessors are also responsible for providing information to the NZQA via Careerforce so that students can receive their official Record of Achievement.
The aim of Careerforce training is ultimately to improve practice to enhance the lives of the clients each student serves.
CAREERFORCE – ENABLING CAREERS Page | 9
Literacy and learning support
Low literacy levels and difficulties with learning are potential barriers to achievement. Supporting students in these areas contributes to increased engagement with training and achievement at higher levels.
There is growing awareness about the need for literacy support to assist with workforce training. Careerforce learning guides are written in plain English to assist learners undertaking unit standards.
Health and Safety
Workplace health and safety is paramount. Careerforce Gateway packages are designed to reflect industry best practice and comply with the latest Health and Safety Legislation. This must be reinforced to the students.
Learning Resources
You can download your resources online via our resource library. To do this you can follow this link http://library.careerforce.org.nz/

Level 3 Packages Suitable for Year 13 students
At Level 3, there are two qualifications that students can work towards completing the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) and the New Zealand Certificate in Youth Work (Level 3).
The NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) is suitable for students interested in developing the skills and knowledge required to provide person-centred support in health and wellbeing sectors.
This qualification is stranded to recognise the specific skills and knowledge required for a range of roles and responsibilities in the health and wellbeing sector:
The purpose of the Health Assistance strand is to recognise the skills and knowledge required to provide person-centred health care under the direction and delegation of a health professional.
The purpose of the Support Work strand is to recognise the skills and knowledge required to provide person-centred support which maximises independence.
Careerforce has created some examples of how these qualifications could be packaged into 20 credit packages of recommended standards for different career pathways. The full list of unit standards from the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) is provided on the following page. Gateway Coordinators/Careers Advisors can group these unit standards together to form 20 credit packages depending on the most suitable combination for the student’s interests and employer’s requirements.

Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) with strands in Health Assistance
or Support Work
Before students’ progress further it is recommended that they think about the health and wellbeing sector they want to work in.
