AORERE PATHWAYS

L1 P-TECH (DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES PATHWAY COURSE)

pre-requisites

Any student with a desire to gain an IT career may apply for the P-Tech course.  Ideally they will enjoy problem solving; have completed projects in 10DIT, 10ANG, 10ROB; have L4/5 English language skills OR HOD approval.

course description

P-Tech is a 3-5 year pathway course which will support students into IT careers through a partnership made up of Aorere College,  IBM, the Warehouse Group and MIT. P-Tech is brand new to New Zealand.   Currently only offered at Aorere College and Manurewa High School as a pilot program, P-Tech has been operating successfully in the USA and Australia for a number of years.

Students accepted for P-Tech will complete NCEA achievement standards focusing on developing a range of different Digital Technologies skills, (e.g. digital graphics, app development, web design, computer programming, databases).  They will also participate in regular off-site workshops, mentoring and other experiences aimed at developing digital and professional skills identified as specific to the needs of the IT industry.  

A student choosing L1 P-Tech would be considering a career in the IT industry.  They will also be considering continuing with P-Tech at L2 & L3, after which they will be supported in either entering a career in the IT field, or continuing the P-Tech pathway with MIT.  The P-Tech pathway with MIT will continue to offer similar partnership experiences (industry work experience, mentoring, etc), after which students will be supported into an IT career.  Internships are also possible outcomes from committing to the 3-5 year pathway.

In order to successfully function as an enrichment opportunity, P-Tech course numbers are limited to 25 students at each year level.
