IB and TAFE Queensland Build New Partnership in Australia

October 24, 2024

The International Baccalaureate (IB) will sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with TAFE Queensland and Brisbane South State Secondary College to advance career-ready education in Australia.
TAFE Queensland is a provider of technical and further education. Brisbane South State Secondary College (Brisbane South SSC) educates students at the secondary level to cultivate an environment that fosters academic excellence and the development of essential life skills, both personal and professional.

As part of the new partnership, Brisbane South SSC will introduce the IB’s Career-related Programme (CP), maintaining academic rigour while preparing students for a complex world. Through this new collaboration, the school aims to prepare students for both higher education and their chosen career paths, developing students’ skills in critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, and global citizenship.

To accomplish this goal, TAFE Queensland will become an official career-related studies strategic partner, offering a selection of courses that will form part of the IB CP Career-related Study (CRS) components that distinguish the CP curriculum. TAFE Queensland will support Brisbane South SSC in implementing the CRS programmes, while the IB will offer guidance and expertise throughout the implementation process of the CP.

As a result, students will gain exposure to real-world career applications in their chosen fields, develop essential workplace skills, and graduate with a solid foundation for success.

Together, leaders from all three entities will report on best practices to serve as a resource for future collaborations. In addition to providing professional development opportunities to educators, this partnership with the IB will contribute to a more skilled and future-ready workforce in the region.
