Pilbara Universities Centre Information

Pilbara Kimberley University Centres (PKUC) is a not-for-profit organisation expanding access to higher education, skills development and career pathways across regional Western Australia. Connecting communities across the Pilbara and Kimberley with Australian universities, industry and education partners, we help people study, develop their skills and build their careers without having to leave their communities. Through our regional study hubs, PKUC provides local academic and student support, university pathway guidance, scholarships, professional development opportunities, career and education advice, and access to dedicated study facilities and technology. We also work closely with schools, Aboriginal organisations, community organisations, employers, government and industry to develop place-based education and outreach programs that respond to local workforce and community needs. Our school and community initiatives include university outreach, career pathway programs and innovative programs such as STEM in Sport, helping build aspiration and connect young people with future education and employment opportunities. At PKUC, our purpose is to build the skills and capabilities that support the future of the Pilbara and Kimberley and strengthen the communities we serve.
