Industry Consultant (Industry Liaison Officer)

• Step away from the tools and help young people find their purpose in industry.
• Share your experience and make a positive difference in the lives of young people.
• Help deliver our deliberately different industry-driven educational experience that challenges the status quo.

The Australian Industry Trade College (AITC) is unlike any other senior school. We’re for young people who seek a deliberately different educational experience. An industry-driven one. For those who want to learn in the classroom, within workplaces and on the job. We’re for those young people who seek to start building real-world strengths and skills now, not only in the future.

We are seeking an Industry Consultant (similar to the role of an Industry Liaison Officer) to join our Redlands campus in a full-time, permanent capacity.

In this role, you will support young people to achieve employment outcomes.

Key to your success will be your ability to coach and mentor young people to build their character and employability skills and connect with industry to develop successful, ongoing partnerships.

You will also provide day-to-day oversight of the implementation of a range of industry program activities.

Responsibilities will include:

• Conducting risk assessments with employers to ensure appropriate duty of care and compliance.
• Leading on-campus young person training opportunities (Site Meetings, 'Rookies Be Prepared', etc.)
• Education and training to set young people up for successful work experience placements.
• Facilitation of workshops and employability skills sessions.
• Review and follow-up of Work Experience Program placements and providing feedback to young people.
• Engage both new and existing employers with the AITC.
• Communication and liaison with parents/guardians and employers.

Our values play a critical role in cultivating culture. They set the standards for how we behave, interact with others, make decisions, and choose to act. They are:

• Think progressively
• Take courageous action
• Achieve inspiring outcomes
• Demonstrate genuine care
• Contribute authentically
• Succeed collectively

Skills and experience

The following qualifications and experience are essential for this position:

• Previous experience in a similar role or strong Industry background with transferable skills
• Sound knowledge / previous Industry exposure to industry safety practices
• Current driver’s license and own vehicle

• Right to work in Australia

Desirable qualifications and experience include:

• Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
• Certificate IV in Career Development
• Qualifications in Workplace Health and Safety
• Industry experience across boating, electrical, or construction industries 

We value and recognise our people through a range of benefits including superannuation matching after a qualifying period, access to corporate rate health insurance, staff discounts through PerkBox, Employee Assistance Programs, and flu vaccinations to name a few.
