I am in the process of working through my options for my 16yr old son. He would like to either do a degree in Science or Business and have spoken with Auckland University on the requirements necessary. We have also just enrolled to do correspondence for 2010. I would love to have feedback with those who have already walked this walk before. This is very encouraging to hear. I am in the process of working through my options for my 16yr old son.

You can leave school and enrol as a Young Adult with the Correspondence School. They also have a programme called Gateway which helps young people get into work by doing NCEA credits related to vocational training and provides a transition into work by linking with business. So I think you could look at this option also. Its worth while he talking to someone at the Correspondence School as well as the Careers Service." Youthline as well will help: Helpline 0800 37 66 33.
