Industry Consultant (Industry Liaison Officer)

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.

About the role

We are seeking an Industry Consultant (similar to the role of an Industry Liaison Officer) to join our Redlands School in a full-time, permanent capacity.

In this role, you will support young people in achieving employment outcomes. Key to your success will be your ability to coach and mentor young people to build their character and employability skills and connect with industry to develop successful, ongoing partnerships.

You will also provide day-to-day oversight of implementing various industry program activities.

Key Outcomes

• Conducting risk assessments with employers to ensure appropriate duty of care and compliance.
• Leading on-campus young person training opportunities (Site Meetings, 'Rookies Be Prepared', etc.)
• Education and training to set young people up for successful work experience placements.
• Facilitation of workshops and employability skills sessions.
• Review and follow-up on Work Experience Program placements and provide feedback to young people.
• Engage both new and existing employers with The Industry School.
• Communication and liaison with parents/guardians and employers.

Our Values – how we show up

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.
