NorthTec supports students at secondary school by providing additional experiences and opportunities not available at school that will assist students in their transition to tertiary study and employment.
Our pathway offerings are aligned with the Vocational Pathways which will allow students to gain credits that contribute to their National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) under the vocational pathways.
NorthTec is happy to work with schools to provide solutions that meet the needs of students at your school. We welcome your comments, requests for information and suggestions about how we can help, and work more closely together.
