Open the door to a career in Retail!

---

Retail is an exciting career choice with loads of possibilities – from helping customers, stock management, marketing, to running a store.

The Farmers Gateway Programme gives students a great opportunity to get in at the ground floor with Farmers, one of New Zealand’s oldest and most famous retail brands.

Specially designed for Years 12 and 13, students who successfully complete Farmers’ induction Level 2 programme will have a chance to continue as a workplace trainee, gaining more skills, knowledge and a great nationally-recognised qualification, the New Zealand Certificate in Retail.

How it works

Students accepted for this programme will receive placement at a Farmers store. They will be fully supported by a dedicated Schools Transitions Advisor, who works with store management to ensure they gain an all-round understanding of the great world of retail.

Students will be supplied with learning resources and clear development plans from the Schools Transitions Advisor, who will keep their school up to date. Students’ work will be assessed by ServiceIQ.
