ABOUT VET 4 T&L

This program was established in  2014 and is funded by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training to support ongoing reform and operations of the vocational education and training system relating to the contestable skills market in Queensland. VET 4 T&L is an industry engagement program covering all sectors of industry – road transport, passenger transport, logistics, rail, aviation and maritime.

The project aims to raise awareness about vocational education and training opportunities available to industry. VET 4 T&L is also committed to providing feedback to the Queensland government about current and future skilling priorities as identified by industry. To do this, the project uses a number of tools to engage with industry, from direct phonecalls and meetings to surveys and online feedback forums.

 

 

Activities are currently being delivered for the delivery phase which commenced March 2020 and will run to June 2023. This will include more events and face-to-face meetings with industry in regional areas, to make sure we are representing the views of industry across our state – so watch this space!
