Industry Partners

A Collaborative Model 

The ICT GISP model demonstrates that the most effective way to grow a digital economy is through a collaborative, industry-led approach. By integrating professional insights from partners like those listed above, Queensland schools can move beyond theory and provide students with the high-level understandings required by employers.
