Trade Taster Program
Get a taste for a future trades career while you're still at school. TAFE Queendland’s popular Trade and Skill Taster programs will be returning in Term 3 at their Nambour campus. It is for eligible high school students to try a course without committing to a full qualification or apprenticeship. This lets students find out if a course is the right option or test out a potential career path they are considering following in the future.
Applications are now opening on Monday 27th May 2024, save the date to avoid missing out.
To find out what is offered and to apply, please go to Pathways once applications are open. The application code is TQEC24TT3. Please note all students that were on a waitlist for Term 2 will need to apply again.
