How On Campus
The Certificate I in Gaining Access to Training and Employment (GATE) is an introductory course that will build on your personal, social and employability skills applicable across a wide range of industries. GATE is designed to prepare and progress you for further education and training and enhance your employment opportunities.
This course enables you to develop your skills in numeracy and literacy, communication, and digital and personal development strategies. GATE offers two study pathways across various campuses:
- Animal Studies pathway
- Retail pathway (the Mini Woolies program)
Mini Woolies program (Retail pathway)
Students will work with a Foundation Skills lecturer to develop literacy and numeracy skills, communication strategies, digital literacy and personal development strategies providing the student with the confidence to seek employment. Under the supervision of a qualified Retail lecturer, students will be provided ‘hands-on’ experience, in customer service and organising and maintaining a store environment.
The Mini Woolies environment is set up to simulate a Woolworths store to help students learn while having access to two registers, with an option for a wheelchair-accessible register, store shelving, fresh food displays, signage and shopping baskets.
Animal studies pathway
Under the supervision of an experienced Animal Studies lecturer, students are provided with practical experience in approaching and handling calm animals, feeding animals and handling companion animals safely.
Students receive credit for the completed units. While entry isn't guaranteed, completion of the pathway can assist in gaining entry into ACM20121 Certificate II in Animal Care.
