The Institute gives your students the chance to start their career in sport by studying at the home of the Brisbane Broncos after they finish high school.

Over the holidays we had over 30 students out completing work experience across various industries, such as retail, engineering, electrical, architecture, allied health and fitness. Our students did a fantastic job representing themselves and the College in the best possible way, with many our host employers commenting on the quality of our students and their work ethic. Work experience is such a valuable way to gain skills, build networks and prepare for the world of work. Our next work experience block will be taking place in the September school holidays.
