About Us
As a non-profit association, established in 2012, our mission has been to enrich learning and strengthen communities by
integrating best practices from professionals with extensive industry experience – our
Industry Professors.
The traditional path to professorship is long and demanding, often requiring a Doctorate.
We recognise that your time and energy may have been devoted to advancing industries, economies, and communities. While academia values degrees, we value the “School of Hard Knocks” – the countless hours of trial, adjustment, and achievement that shape true industry knowledge.
“Personal practical knowledge is one of the greatest untapped resources in the world”
Learners worldwide are eager to learn from your practical experience. We believe real-world
expertise is irreplaceable, which is why we honour those who have gained their skills through
hands-on work.
If this sounds like you, you may be eligible to join or advance as an Industry Professor. Our
team supports you in sharing your expertise with the learning community at Skillmaker.edu.au, where students,
organisations, and communities value firsthand knowledge.
As the only organisation in Australia, the UK, and China licensed to award the title of Industry Professor®, we’re here to recognise and elevate your professional knowledge underpinned by the Australian Government Vocational Framework
Join us on this journey to bring industry expertise where it’s needed most — our Vocational Education system and to the people who can benefit from you and your know-how.
