Port Augusta Technical College is planned to open in 2025. Co-located with Port Augusta Secondary School, the Technical College will provide modern facilities for students to undertake specialist industry-based vocational education and training (VET), all while completing their SACE.

The exact operating model for the technical college is being determined through consultation with schools, industry and the broader community in the region. It is expected that the technical college will provide training opportunities for students across the wider region with a part-time teaching model and short stay accommodation facilities on site.

Students will train for careers in key industries in the region including:

  • mining and mineral processing
  • renewable energy
  • manufacturing and construction
  • tourism and hospitality
  • health and social support.

Registered training organisation (RTO) and employer partners

To create and deliver the industry training programs we'll work with RTOs and employers. This will help students develop the skills and knowledge that employers actually need.

Port Augusta Technical College will partner with global mining giant BHP  and other local employer partners to shape the training programs that will prepare young people for jobs in the region.

We'll announce further RTO and employer partners soon.
