Terms and Conditions
Last updated 9 November 2026
1. About these terms
Shorter Paths operates a platform connecting secondary school students with businesses, employers and industry organisations offering career discovery workshops and pathways. By creating an account you agree to these terms.
2. Accounts
You must provide accurate information and keep your login details secure. One account per person. Students must be enrolled in Year 12 or Year 13 at a New Zealand secondary school.
3. Registration and approval
Registration is an expression of interest and does not guarantee acceptance. Shorter Paths may request further information, seek verification from a student's school, and approve, decline or withdraw a registration at its discretion.
4. Workshops
Workshops are delivered by independent organisations, not by Shorter Paths. Organisations are responsible for the accuracy of their listings, health and safety, supervision and any accreditation requirements. A place is only confirmed when the organiser confirms it.
5. Student conduct
Students attending a workshop must follow the host organisation's instructions, treat people and property with respect, and comply with health and safety requirements. Serious misconduct may result in removal from the programme.
6. Organisation obligations
Organisations must hold appropriate insurance and accreditation, maintain a safe environment, and use student information only for the purposes of the workshop they are delivering. Student academic and attendance information is never shared with organisations.
7. Content and privacy
You are responsible for the content you submit. Personal information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020.
8. No payment in this release
The platform does not process payments. Where a workshop has a cost, that arrangement is between the student and the organising business.
9. Changes
We may update these terms and the platform. Material changes will be notified by email or in the app. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
