The Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) and the Australian Industry Trade College (AITC) are proud to announce the establishment of a second Marine Academy, this time in the Brisbane bayside suburb of Cleveland.
BIA and AITC kick started the Academy concept in 2022 for high school students on the Gold Coast. The AITC is a deliberately different senior school for students pursuing an industry career in Years 10 to 12.
BIA CEO Andrew Scott said due to the success of the initial Academy and ongoing industry need for a skilled workforce, the second campus would open from July this year.
“BIA is committed to supporting career pathways into the boating industry in Australia,” Scott said. “The industry has a huge demand for young people who want to take up a career in and around our magnificent waterways.
