The Australian Industry Trade College (AITC) is unlike any other school. It is a school for young people who seek a deliberately different educational experience. An industry-driven one. In operation for over 15 years, the AITC provides a unique two to three-year program for Years 10 to 12 that enables and empowers young people to find their purpose and proudly pursue a pathway in industry. A seamless blend of senior secondary education (QCE) and vocational training to engage young people in purposeful learning experiences with real industry relevance.
With a negotiated commencement date, the AITC is looking for dynamic and energetic Principals to join the Senior Leadership Team, with exciting opportunities available at their Brisbane and Toowoomba Schools. You must have a genuine passion for young people, industry pathways and apprenticeships.
As a Principal at the AITC, you will be an exceptional and visionary leader committed to ensuring that the AITC strategically delivers a sector-leading, industry-driven educational experience.

Together with your school leadership team, you will work collaboratively with the integrated resourcing and shared services to ensure optimisation of operations and resources, and the achievement of performance and improvement goals for your school.
The AITC Principal will demonstrate a passion for education, with a strong commitment to an innovative, industry-driven education model that connects the world of education with the world of work. A contemporary and values-driven leader, you will influence and utilise evidence-informed leadership and pedagogical practices to inspire quality teaching and learning and nurture positive relationships between students, teachers, industry, and community stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have:
