Queensland Alumina Limited has been nominated for a prestigious award after it was recognised for its training system during COVID-19.
Training and Skills Development Minister Di Farmer named 29 Central Queensland region nominees among 218 statewide finalists for the Queensland Training Awards on Monday.
Mackay and Isaac Regional Councils, Gladstone’s Queensland Alumina Limited, Dysart’s Taylored Automotive and Biloela’s Central Queensland Multicultural Association were each named as finalists.
CQMA was recognised for its Skilling Queenslanders for Work project, which provided access to a Certificate III in Individual Support and achieved a 93 per cent success rate for 31 trainees in 2020.
“It’s been a tough 18 months for businesses, trainers and employees who have had to adjust to different ways of working due to COVID-19,” Ms Farmer said.
“All have been selected for their commitment to training and for establishing trades and tertiary pathways for their employees, apprentices and trainees.
“It’s extremely important to recognise the individuals and organisations that put training and development at the heart of what they do.
“The hard work of our outstanding apprentices, trainees, students, employers, teachers and training projects will be highlighted in the annual Queensland Training Awards, which have been celebrating the power of skills for 60 years.”
The winners from Central Queensland will be announced online in July with the state winners announced at a Gala Dinner in September.
