The TAFE Queensland Apprentice and Trainee Awards will bring together TAFE Queensland apprentices and trainees to recognise their hard work and achievements in completing their qualifications. Employers and teachers have nominated the top achievers from each faculty to be named and celebrated for their skills and dedication to their craft.
This is one night not to be missed, so come along and enjoy live music, tasty canapés, and a cash bar while you connect and celebrate with peers, teachers, industry professionals, and of course, your family and friends.
Apprentices and trainees who have completed or are on track to complete their studies with TAFE Queensland between 1 August 2025 and 31 March 2026 are invited to attend and celebrate along with their guests.
