With Findon Technical College now open and the remaining four taking enrolments for 2026, industry partners are now lining up to support key career pathways.

The technical colleges’ design, facilities and training programs have been developed in close consultation with industry and employers to replicate the look, feel and flow of industry workplace environments.

A key element of the technical colleges is guaranteed career opportunities for graduates, with employer partners signing on to design and deliver industry training programs to ensure students graduate with the right skills and qualifications, and train on the right workplace learning equipment.
