Learn more about the process and how to apply.

The Gateway to Industry Schools program (GISP) builds partnerships between schools and industry to enable young people to acquire the knowledge, skills and attributes to participate effectively in the Queensland economy. The program provides opportunities for industry and the education sector to work together to deliver outcomes for students, local communities and businesses.

Participating students are exposed to a range of learning experiences to assist them in their career choices and pathways to employment.

Each project is led by industry organisations which develop and implement tailored school engagement activities in line with their industry's key skills and workforce priorities. Industry organisations choose how the industry specific projects operate and the type and level of engagement with participating schools.

Twelve industries are currently involved in GISP.

Visit the relevant industry below to find:

  • student and teacher engagement activities
  • how schools can participate, including current participating schools
  • events and opportunities
