The Building and Construction Gateway to Industry Schools project exposes students to a range of learning experiences to help plan their future career choices and provide pathways into the building and construction industry.

The project is delivered in partnership with Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) to raise awareness of the different pathways into the building and construction industry. The project involves:

  • raising the profile of all careers in construction
  • providing opportunities for industry placements
  • creating links between industry and schools
  • assisting with professional development for teachers.

Participating schools

The project assists schools throughout Queensland to form strong partnerships with the building and construction industry.
