2021 NAME: ____________________________________________________________________

WHANAU CLASS: _____________________________________________________________

DEAN: ____________________________________________________________________

This booklet is designed to assist future Year 11 – 13 students, along with their whanau, to choose subjects for 2021. We encourage students to select subjects that will build a voca�onal pathway that best suits them and their future inten�ons.

Service Industries

From travel to tourism, hairdressing to hospitality, physical fitness to finance services. This sector is best for people who enjoy working with other people.

Good communication and presentation skills are important. You will need to be

able to work in teams and deal with people from all walks of life. If you can

work out how to handle tricky situations diplomatically, you’ll go a long way.

Knowledge of New Zealand and local culture and heritage is a real asset. And because employers and customers are keen on people who have the X-factor,

a willingness to learn and being passionate about your work is also

important.

Primary Industries

This vocational pathway offers opportunities to work outdoors

planting, growing or tending trees, crops and animals. You may work

alone, sometimes in isolated places, or with a bunch of like-minded people.

Further from the farm, you could be in a processing plant, turning primary

produce into goods for sale and export. You may also work in a big city

office, organising shipping, or developing government policy. If

you’re into science and technology, you’re valued in this sector, whether you’re analysing data or contributing to the next world-leading agricultural

breakthrough.

Social and Community Service Industries

This sector can be exciting, personally rewarding, and physically and emotionally

demanding. The range of jobs is huge – from monitoring and protecting people and property (corrections, defence, or

firefighting) to caring for people in need (health care, community and social work,

medicine, or therapy). You may work outdoors or inside, or move from place to place. Wherever you are, you’ll be dealing

with people of all ages and walks of life. There will be times where you’ll find yourself in fast-changing, challenging

situations where you may have to make quick decisions under pressure. Wherever

you work you’re likely to be part of a strong, active, and committed team.

Construc�on and Infrastructure

If you don’t have buildings, roads, drainage, a water supply, func�oning electricity or a telecommunica�ons

network you can’t live or run a business in today’s world. In this sector you’ll work indoors and outdoors. O�en it’ll be dusty and noisy, but you’ll get to

feel the sun on your skin and the wind on your face. You’ll move around from

site to site, working with lots of different tradespeople, contractors, and clients. You’ll have a variety of different tasks to do no mater what

your job is, and you’ll use many different tools and types of machinery.

The work is physical and ac�ve. It’s hard work, but there are plenty of laughs and jokes with good mates.

Creative Industries

This industry is for those people who work or study in visual and performing arts as artists or technicians, or in the design and development of products,

including communications. This pathway also includes those who work in film and digital technologies and in

events development and management, including heritage and cultural advice.

Māori and Pacific culture and identity is fully represented in this pathway.

Manufacturing and Technology

From hands-on production to cutting-edge research, from massive machines and busy production lines to individual crafts or computer design. In this sector you might be working with huge lumps of metal or delicately assembling tiny component parts, so small you can’t

even see them (nanotechnology). You’ll be working indoors most of the time,

with tools, machinery, and equipment, or maybe a computer. You could be producing things in their millions, or

making or designing individual one-offs. You might be fabricating, installing,

fixing, or maintaining systems, or doing a job involving lots of thinking, planning,

or making calculations. Many jobs are creative, methodical, detailed, and precise. Generally in this pathway

there’s a very clear end point to the job you’re doing and you’ll be able say “I had a hand in that. It couldn’t have

happened without me.”
