SCHOOLS
A challenge for many young people is bridging the gap between school and work. Workplace learning programmes like Gateway can help. It lets young people leave school confident in their decision to get a job and continue working towards a qualification at the same time.
The Retail Institute currently has three options for school students. They allow a school to choose the appropriate option for their student(s), regardless of whether the student(s) are completing their option through the Gateway programme.
