Well-positioned knowledge to help students and school leavers forge a satisfying, rewarding career. Industry Training Advisors are experts in building and construction work and the best support to set you up for success.
When you learn from someone who has been there and done it, their advice carries more weight. Industry Training Advisors (ITAs) share their experience and connections in construction to assist you in finding the perfect role.
Along with practical experience and real-world knowledge, you can learn about working in the industry and how to get started. ITAs offer support to students, parents and teachers.
Our team provide the foundation for a successful future with industry intelligence on workforce needs, quality training and program delivery.
Need career advice?
ITAs help you learn what you should start doing now to become more employable later. You can get ahead in your career by obtaining your license and knowing what school subjects to focus on. They provide valuable early mentorship for your construction career.
We also support you through funded courses such as VET Programs, Try-A-Trade and the Scholarship program. An Industry Training Advisor will visit during these Programs to offer advice, discuss options and guide you on your pathway.

Benefits include:
