The Industry Pathways Team
The IT industry is constantly evolving in the technologies that are used and the skills that are required to be successful. Part of what we do at Techtorium is to be flexible in responding to these changes to maintain the relevance of our graduates in the job market. This is just one aspect of the work done in our Industry Pathways team.
Having two interns from Techtorium for six weeks has been a pleasure. The level of training Techtorium delivers has been of great benefit to us. I would encourage companies to take on interns from Techtorium and see for yourselves - Grahame Symon, Lucidity Cloud Services
With over 15 years of training IT professionals, Techtorium continues to see outstanding levels of success in our graduates finding fulfilling and relevant employment. Our continuous collaboration with the IT industry, including with such companies as Datacom, New Era IT, Vocus Group, Solutionists, Level Optimus systems and more guarantees that we know what is happening in the industry and that students learn employment-centric skills that remain relevant.
Soft Skills and Personal Development

| · Communication | · Self Management | · Project Management |
| · Critical Thinking | · Presentations | · Professional Etiquette |
| · Teamwork |
Full-Time students also have further opportunities to develop these skills by joining us as Techtorium ambassadors during careers fairs, industry networking events and volunteering in the community.
