Gateway to Industry Schools Program

The Gateway to Industry Schools Program bridges the gap between education and the workforce, empowering young people to make informed decisions about their future in advanced manufacturing. The Gateway to Industry Schools Program for Advanced Manufacturing is presented by Manufacturing Skills Queensland and funded by the Queensland Government.

The Gateway to Industry Schools Program is a pioneering initiative that creates a vital link between education and industry in Queensland. It aims to inspire and prepare high school students for exciting careers in advanced manufacturing by providing them with real-world exposure and hands-on experiences. Through this program, students gain invaluable insights into the diverse and innovative world of manufacturing, from aerospace and defence to renewable energy and medical technology. By fostering strong partnerships between schools and local industries, the program offers unique learning opportunities that go beyond traditional classroom education. Students participate in industry tours, workshops, and projects that develop their technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of modern manufacturing processes. Through the program there are opportunities for teachers to build their skills and knowledge in manufacturing too.
