The Queensland Government is calling on all tradies to nominate the top apprentices, trainees, teachers and training organisations for this year's Queensland Training Awards, with nominations closing 22 March.

State Minister for Education and Training, John-Paul Langbroek, invited Queenslanders to nominate an individual or organisation in one of the 11 award categories.

“Showcasing the state’s training achievements for 52 years now, the Queensland Training Awards are a highly-celebrated event on the training calendar,” Mr Langbroek said.

“I would encourage anyone who employs or knows of someone who is doing great things as an apprentice or trainee to nominate them for these prestigious awards.

“The awards also acknowledge a range of other people, including teachers, trainers, training organisations and employers.

“Regional finals will be held across the state in July and August and those who are successful at that level will go on to the state finals in Brisbane in September.

“State finalists may even have the chance to represent Queensland at the Australian Training Awards in Perth in November.”
