TAFE Queensland has developed the capability of its staff and delivered more than 20 short courses to more than 100 welders so far across its campuses, including Cairns and Townsville.

19.01.2022 Have you listened to the latest National Centre for Vocational Education Research podcasts on 'Vocational Voices'? With recent budget announcements and the need to build a skilled workforce to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing economy, apprenticeships are in the spotlight. The Traditional trade apprenticeships: still a trusted brand podcast discusses the future of traditional trades and how the perception of apprenticeships has changed over the years.... The Investing in our workforce: cadetships vs apprenticeships podcast looks at how we can increase the number of jobs available, and provide better pathways into jobs and industries that have been increasingly out of reach, particularly for young people. Listen to them here: https://bit.ly/3h4sNiH

15.01.2022 Are you aware that senior secondary schooling in Queensland has changed? The new Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) system equips students with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for the future. Under the new system eligible students will receive an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) instead of an Overall Position (OP). In Queensland, the ATAR recognises a broader range of learning, including the significant role vocational education and training (VET) plays in senior studies. For more information, go to www.qld.gov.au/newqce
