We advocate on behalf of members
We are proud to be a link with government organisations on behalf of our members.
We recently hosted an online Gateway Conference that focused on the professional development of Gateway staff in schools. Following this conference, we had several follow up questions for the TEC, and this was the response we received. We are also asking members who work in Gateway to provide us some feedback on pay rates in the industry by completing this form.
