Developing an Effective Workforce for the Aerospace Industry​

The Gateway to Industry Schools Program (GISP) is an initiative by the Queensland Government designed to enhance the employability of students by building stronger links between schools, industry, and further education providers. 

By working closely with schools and industry, the Aerospace GISP provides real-world learning, career guidance, and hands-on experiences, all within the exciting and fast-growing aerospace sector.
