- internship employment (with a half teaching load) in a Queensland secondary state school (on a full-time intern wage of approx. $66,000 per annum) for the second and remaining years of study
- access to a community of practice and dedicated ITD mentor to support professional practice
- a permanent position in a Queensland State School upon graduation and provisional registration as a teacher.
