1 SCHOOL, 1 SYSTEM, 1 WAY. The Australian Industry Trade College has grown rapidly in recent years, seeing four new campuses open since 2016, with sites at Redlands, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and Ipswich. In response to ongoing growth, as well as a changing educational and industry landscape, the AITC leadership team has implemented strategic changes to ensure all College young people can access the best possible industry-focussed education and career outcomes. The new leadership system sees the College moving together as one school, with one system and one way. With young people spread across Queensland from Toowoomba to the Gold Coast, and all the way to Maroochydore, a consistent and strategic approach is vital to securing strong industry outcomes for all AITC young people. This new system has seen the introduction of Regional Principals and the appointment of several passionate educators, one being Dr Jamie Dorrington, who takes up the position of Regional Principal of the Redlands and Sunshine Coast campuses.
