Prime Ministers Vocational Excellence Award
In year 13 of highschool I was apart of the gateway programme. Through this programme I did work experience for NME every Friday. Throughout the time if I was not on site, in gateway classes I would complete booklets relating to the trade I was taking part in (Electrical), gaining me NCEA credits. Through my hard work on site and in the classroom I won this award which helped partially pay for my tertiary fees.
