Signee is an industry platform that has been developed by Master Sign Maker experts for the purpose of educating to employment or creating pathways to apprenticeships.\u00a0 The association has developed two Signee programs, both certified and industry recognised.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Signee Industry<\/strong> is a full program with online learning and workbook.\u00a0 It has been developed for those already employed within the industry but at entry-level role or those looking to pivot direction from closely connected industries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Signee Gateway <\/strong>is now<\/em> ……….<\/p>\n

available in high schools nationwide and was release in October this year.\u00a0 This program is the \u201cstripped back\u201d version of the full Signee Industry program, just the bare essentials and basic knowledge of sign making for\u00a0students.\u00a0 \u00a0This sign making gateway program is new and content within the course outline contains NZQA credits for students to achieve.<\/p>\n

Both programmes offer similar processes and expectations, beginning with a 1-week work placement in school holidays or at a time convenient, with a one day a week to follow until completion or 10 weeks which-ever is the later.\u00a0 The Signee Gateway program cost is reduced to $600 + GST of which the high schools are responsible for.\u00a0 The reduced cost reflects courses that are included in the full Signee Industry program that are not necessary or required at school level, or students may have already achieved these.\u00a0 i.e.\u00a0\u00a0 Working at Heights or First Aid certificates.\u00a0 Signee Industry program cost is $1,200 + GST and includes a comprehensive workbook, online learning, plus additional course requirements needed to meet expectations of the industry.\u00a0 The Employer who takes on any Signee\u2019s will also be given a Trainer Guide to assist with the training and mentoring on a week by week basis.<\/p>\n

Employers in the sign industry can be confident that both these programmes will provide a well-informed insight into what a career in the New Zealand sign industry is all about by learning fundamental knowledge and skills in\u00a0the \u2018six pillars\u2019 of sign making and health and safety, the six pillars being, \u00a0Design, Manufacture, Application, Installation, Illumination and Traditional.<\/p>\n

Now that the platforms have been developed, the working documents implemented, and the marketing for Signee Gateway and Industry released, it has created that very important link to our industry with pathways and connections to high schools, tertiary institutions, and other industries, all we need now is the support of our members and the industry.<\/p>\n

We need employers from \u201cfull service\u201d sign shops to offer their workplace environment, their mentorship, and most of all their passion and time to show students or entry level employees just how exciting and diverse our industry can be.\u00a0 We are looking in the first instance for NZSDA members nationwide.\u00a0 If you think you can \u2018pay if forward\u2019, \u00a0\u2018give back to Industry\u2019, or simply just passionate enough to care about the sign making future, then we want to hear from you.<\/p>\n
