The Industry School focusses on developing character and values, academic and enterprise skills, employability skills and industry readiness. The program engages young people in purposeful learning experiences with real world industry relevance, whilst meeting the requirements of the
Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority. Students attend the School in 5-week blocks and are placed in
work experience, work placement and school-based apprenticeships for 5–7 weeks during the remainder of the school term. The Federal Member for McPherson,
Karen Andrews, said in the House of Representatives on 17 August 2011 that "The AITC also has a unique style of teaching and working with students". Students are encouraged to participate in service projects, both local and international. Every year, a team of young people, staff and industry partners, travels to Cambodia to build homes and shelter for underprivileged Cambodian families. The first overseas trip commenced in 2013, in partnership with New Hope Cambodia. The Industry School is more than a trade college, offering extensive industry pathways, non-traditional trades, and Academy programs. For more than 15 years, The Industry School has produced great results - which is why it's a school of first for industry education. ==Student awards==
