Filed under: Secondary students now have a great opportunity to earn a trades or technology qualification while they are still at school – at no cost.
UCOL is heading one of the Government’s new trade’s academies – called U-Skills Central School Academy. In a partnership with Awatapu College, places are available to Manawatu students in years 12-13 who are studying for NCEA level 2 and also want to gain a tertiary pre trade qualification.
Trades academies allow students to be enrolled at both their secondary school and a tertiary training provider. As an academy Hub school, Awatapu College in Palmerston North is hosting the U-Skills Small Motors programme. U-Skills are also offering a Fashion and Beauty programme, Electrotechnology (Electrical and Electronics) and Joinery at the Palmerston North UCOL campus. These programmes are available to students from any school in the region. Read More: “Manawatu young people get free fees, free transport for trades training”…
