Support is available for registered training organisations to help their staff to complete a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
This will help deliver a strong pipeline of vocational education and training (VET) teachers to train the workers Queensland needs.
The support comes in 2 forms:
- Financial assistance for registered training organisations to employ people who will complete a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122). We call these people ‘trainees’.
- Scholarship payments for trainees when they reach key milestones to help them complete their training.
Timing
Applications are now open until 30 December 2027.
Eligibility
Your organisation must:
- be a Skills Assure Supplier (SAS) approved to deliver training and assessment services in Queensland
- demonstrate your capacity to provide on-the-job support, mentoring, and supervision for trainees
- work with a Queensland public provider to deliver the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122)
- commit to ongoing employment for the trainee after they complete their traineeship.
Apply now to support your trainees
Registered training organisations who are not Skills Assure Suppliers may be considered on a case-by-case basis. To be considered, please submit a business case to to TAESupportRTO@dtet.qld.gov.au. Note, smaller training organisations and those delivering training for areas with skills shortages will be given priority.
If you are interested in being matched with quality trainee candidates in your region, please email our team and we will connect you with support.
