About Queensland Pathways State College
Queensland Pathways State College (QPSC) offers a senior transitions program for young people in grades 10 to 12 (must be a minimum of 15 years) who face significant barriers in accessing mainstream education. We actively identify, develop and facilitate clear pathways to post-school education, training or employment, while focusing on student-centred learning, student wellbeing, vocational development and community partnerships.
QPSC recognises that mainstream schools have the greatest access to support and services and those students who can attend mainstream schools should continue to attend. However, we understand that for some adolescents, mainstream school cannot provide the necessary support and environment required to stay engaged. Therefore we have an enrolment eligibility process for all students wanting to enrol. Students not accepted into the program will be referred to their nearest state high school to complete the senior years.

This role involves promoting vocational education and training opportunities, developing and maintaining strong employer relationships, coordinating student placements, and supporting work readiness programs. In addition, you will play an active role in the classroom to enhance student engagement and ensure they are well-prepared for successful transitions beyond school.
