Course Description

The racing industry provides a breadth of career opportunities for young people and can take you close to home or as far away abroad as you wish.

The Australian Industry Trade College has partnered with Tier 1 racecourses and turf clubs to develop a bespoke Equine Academy program run out of our Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba schools.

The tailored program is designed to educate young people to become apprentices and trainees of the highest calibre, specifically for the equine and racing industry. In fact, several of our Equine Academy students have already taken the reins and started their school-based apprenticeship.

A little-known fact: You don’t have to choose between finishing school and starting your career. We are currently enrolling Year 10 and 11 students who are interested in gaining a head start in the equine and racing industry, while completing senior school.

ABOUT Australian Industry Trade College

The Australian Industry Trade College came into being because young people needed us and Australia did too.

And so we got started. On rethinking how we educate, equip and empower. On challenging the status-quo and redefining measures of success. On celebrating the path less celebrated and closing a growing gap.

We started helping young people to find their purpose and proudly pursue a pathway in industry, at school. Some might call it a trade. We prefer profession. For us, it’s simply about finding what fits; about loving what you do.

Our footprint was smaller then, our impact and reach is far greater now.

Before opening our doors in 2006, we thought long and hard about who we needed to be and the role we could play in the education and employment landscape. We spoke to educators and to industry, and saw the options available to technically talented, bright minded young people diminish as thinking narrowed around what constitutes ‘clever’ and the ‘best’ path to success.

That was more than 15 years ago and we’ve come a long way since then. Like our young people, we’ve evolved, navigated challenges, experienced setbacks and enjoyed great successes. Much has changed, but during this time one thing has endured and that’s our commitment to young people and our passion for industry.
