Careers

Career possibilities from Technology are endless. The specialist equipment and materials used in each area may identify obvious career paths such as Chef, Fashion Designer, Mechanic, Animator and perhaps some less obvious ones such as Engineer, Product Designer, Computer Programmer, Small Business Owner and many, many more. However, what we teach and how we teach students in Technology encourages students to think and problem solve by planning and completing their own projects. Technology involves learning new skills and then using these skills to solve a problem, issue or produce a product. Organisational and communication skills plus self management are essential for further study, self employment or to make the most out of any employment.

All our subjects provide pathways of learning through to NCEA. Below are some interesting resources and articles which relate to careers in Technology. If you are really unsure about where you are headed, you might get some ideas!
