Women in trades
At TAFE Queensland we're passionate about encouraging and empowering more girls and women to consider pursuing a trade pathway.
Whether you’re finishing school, re-entering the workforce or looking for a career change, you can earn while you learn with an apprenticeship and gain the hands-on skills and experience you need to carve out a future as a tradesperson.
My TAFE Queensland training was fantastic. Most of the teachers were qualified electricians, they had run their own businesses or worked for big companies, and they had a variety of experience to draw on whether it was domestic, commercial, or industrial.
I would definitely recommend TAFE Queensland to others. With real-world experience from the teachers and world-class facilities and tools to use, there's really no other place to be.
There's so many things from TAFE that I'm able to apply every day. All of the units were very relevant and the course was really hands on.
They have one of the best facilities in Queensland. You never lack anything here, you get provided with tools and all the right equipment and the right machinery for the work
My TAFE Queensland training has helped me in the workplace. I got a taste of the range that my industry covers, it opened my eyes to the whole scope of works.
