About us

The Industry School, formerly the AITC, is unlike any other senior school. We’re for young people who seek a deliberately different educational experience. An industry-driven one. For those who want to learn in the classroom, within workplaces, and on the job. We’re for those young people who seek to start building real-world strengths and skills now, not only in the future.

We provide a unique two-to-three-year program for young people in Years 10 to 12 designed to progressively develop employability skills and achieve individualized learning goals while meeting the requirements of the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) and the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

Our aim is to seamlessly blend senior education and vocational training to engage young people in purposeful learning experiences that are relevant to the real world of industry.

Values and Benefits

Our values play a critical role in cultivating culture. They set the standards for how we behave, interact with others, make decisions, and choose to act. They are:

Demonstrate genuine care | Think progressively | Take courageous action | Achieve inspiring outcomes | Contribute authentically | Succeed collectively

We value and recognise our people through a range of benefits including superannuation matching after a qualifying period, access to corporate rate health insurance, salary packaging, staff discounts, Employee Assistance Programs, Professional Development, and the opportunity to participate in community-based activities in Australia and Cambodia to name a few.
