Limited Credit Courses (25 credits approx)
The Customer Service and Business courses offer learning packages that have clear entry and exit points and can be facilitated as part of STAR courses and/or Gateway placements.
The flexibility and scope of the courses supports the NZ Curriculum:
- through assisting students to focus on their futures through alignment to the workplace and enterprise
- through the engagement and connection with the students wider lives (part-time jobs) and the community (work placements)
- by opening pathways for future learning
The selection of unit standards within the individual courses continues to support literacy and numeracy initiatives with the inclusion of business letter writing, retail and business calculations and cash handling skills.
With the practical and research aspects of the courses students are able to readily transfer their learning to the workplace and are able to develop key competencies through:
- relating to others through interacting and sharing ideas surrounding best practice
- managing their own timeframes through setting personal goals regarding transition to the workplace
- independent thinking surrounding best possible solutions to different situations.
These limited credit courses offer a strong, coordinated suite of learning packages that students can comfortably progress from Year 12 and 13 through to the workplace. They provide students with:
- a learning pathway outside of core curriculum subjects
- an opportunity to gain a wide variety of unit standards relevant to potential career paths
- an opportunity to link individual learning to the workplace
- courses flexible enough to meet individual timetable requirements.
