The three organisations presented on their guided pathway approaches at a Learner Success Capability Session on 5 April 2024. Guided pathways are a key capability that a tertiary education provider needs to get right to enable learners to succeed, whatever that looks like for each learner.

We are pleased to share recordings of their presentations.

AUT Pro-Vice Chancellor Pacific Advancement Jacoba Matapo and Assistant Pro-Vice Chancellor Pacific Advancement Rennie Atfield-Douglas share insights about their summer programme for school leavers transitioning into university life, UniPrep. They discuss the programme's purpose, underpinning values and outcomes for ākonga.

University of Auckland Pro-Vice Chancellor Māori Heta Gardiner and UniBound Manager Junior Toailoa talk about their three summer programmes to support learners transitioning into university. They unpack the details of what is involved in the programmes, why there are differences between their three offerings, and where the programmes lead ākonga in their tertiary journey.

Yoobee Head of Learner Success Kelly Stevens shares the PTE's nurture map, which takes a holistic approach to identifying the supports ākonga may need along each step of their tertiary journey. Kelly delves into one of the aspects of their approach, “Q time”, which is underpinned by identifying the learner's needs.

Q&A session – attendees ask the presenters questions about their approaches.
