Industry training is a way to earn while you learn, working towards your career goals without incurring any student debt.  Through industry training the skills you may already have can be recognised and you can gain new ones relevant to your job.

Industry training can also help you to progress in your career, moving up career pathways that you might aspire to, or you may not have realised were available.

As you learn while you work you can gain qualifications that are nationally, and sometimes internationally recognised, on the job.

Next steps
