What's New!
Exciting New Industry Partnerships Creating Unique Learning Opportunities
Inside Industry is proud to launch two exciting new partnerships that bring real-world learning to life for students across the Illawarra.
In partnership with Port Authority of New South Wales, we are offering a Port Kembla Harbour Tour for Years 7 and 8, featuring an engaging ladder demonstration and insights into port operations, maritime safety, and career pathways. Thanks to Port Authority’s support, this experience is free for schools and heavily subsidised for community groups.
We are also thrilled to partner with Squadron Energy to deliver tours of the Port Kembla Energy Terminal for Years 5 and 6 students. This hands-on program explores how energy is generated, transported and used, introducing students to traditional and renewable energy sources while building their understanding of Australia’s evolving energy future.
Together, these partnerships provide inspiring opportunities for young people to connect classroom learning with industry, innovation and future career pathways.

Educational Resources
Real life STEM experiences are super important for primary school students, helping them build critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Getting kids into STEM early sparks curiosity and a better understanding of how things work, setting them up for a lifetime of learning. STEM education also gets students ready for the future job market by teaching them key skills for a tech-driven world. Plus, it encourages teamwork, communication, and bringing different ideas together, showing how both technical know-how and soft skills matter in today’s careers.
Venue Hire
Perfect for your next conference, workshop or meeting! Inside Industry boasts multiple function spaces, catering up to 160pax, including a large foyer and an outdoor courtyard as well as smaller meeting rooms. Ideal for inhouse meetings, training workshops and larger multiple day conferences, conveniently located in the Wollongong area.
