MESSAGE FROM THE mayorIt is my pleasure to support Study Gold Coast as the city’s peak education and training industry body.
Study Gold Coast plays an important role in the education
and training industry on the Gold Coast, enjoying a close
relationship with Council as the body endeavours to
actively support, promote and grow the region’s industry.
Education remains one of the nation’s top export
industries, so I welcome the programs, initiatives and
overall support that Study Gold Coast provides to our city.
I would particularly like to acknowledge the support that
Study Gold Coast has shown towards the thousands of
international students in the city.
The education and training industry provides employment
for thousands of Gold Coast residents, so it is important to
have an industry body like Study Gold Coast, in place to
