Welcome to the Industry Professors Association
Where your real-world experience gets recognised and shared.
Why We Exist
If you’ve worked for years, built a proven track record, and been tested in real-world challenges, you
possess skills and knowledge equivalent to the highest levels of learning. Why not have your
expertise recognized and shared to benefit others?
Harnessing the Power of Australia’s VET System
Australia’s Vocational Education and Training (VET) system is world-class, with competencies written
by industry to ensure training aligns with real-world needs.
Our verbal Q&A process aligns your expertise with these robust standards, uncovering and codifying
the skills and knowledge you’ve gained through years of experience. This approach validates your
learning and transforms it into recognized, shareable knowledge.
Sharing Your Expertise
Learners around the globe seek insights from those who have “been there and done that.” Your
practical experience is invaluable, and we help you share it effectively.
Using VET training packages as an underpinning organizational framework, we transform your
expertise into digital resources—e-books, articles, and posts. Authored by you with our support,
these resources are published on high-visibility platforms, boosting your profile and benefiting global
learning communities.
Recognition and Impact
As the only organisation in Australia, the UK, and China licensed to award the title of Industry
Professor®, we formally recognize your expertise. This prestigious title celebrates your
achievements, connects you to like-minded professionals, and enhances your profile to unlock new
opportunities.
Shaping the Future with Real-World Knowledge
We bridge the gap between work and education, empowering professionals to leave a lasting impact
on students, organizations, and communities. By leveraging the VET system to codify and share your
expertise, we champion a future where practical knowledge drives learning and innovation.
