INTRODUCING THE AITC X PROTECH ACADEMY

The AITC x Protech Academy is Brisbane’s first industry-driven program for school students wishing to pursue a career with big industry on major projects.

Based in Brisbane (at the Spring Hill campus), the program is for high achievers in hi-vis who have the ambition to work on large-scale construction sites with multimilliondollar projects.

Put simply, the program is a combination of deliberately different education, industry-driven training, and technical expertise to develop apprentices and trainees of the highest calibre, starting in Year 10.

THE EQUINE INDUSTRY QUICKSTART (IQ)

The racing industry provides a breadth of career opportunities for young people and can take you close to home or as far away abroad as you wish.

The AITC has partnered with the Gold Coast Turf Club to develop a bespoke Equine Industry QuickStart (IQ) to run out of our Robina campus.

The tailored program is designed to educate young people to become apprentices and trainees of the highest calibre, specifically for the equine industry.

Whether your interests lie with horses, working outdoors, pursuing a trade or administration; with an industrydriven education, the right training and unmatched immersion, the Equine IQ program is sure to deliver a head start.

DELIBERATELY DIFFERENT.
