The Queensland Teachers' Education Centre (QTEC)
Union and Industrial Training
The Queensland Teachers’ Education Centre (QTEC) is the section of the QTU responsible for the coordination, planning and delivery of Union and industrial training.
QTEC offers a range of courses, seminars and conferences focused on workplace Union Representatives, QTU position holders, school leaders, new teachers and activists. The aim of QTEC training is to support members to become more well-informed, active and effective representatives of the QTU in the workplace. Engagement in union training provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to understand, access and improve upon the working conditions of all members and to ultimately build union power.
Course participants can expect to receive excellent, up to date industrial information and advice as well as build highly transferrable skills in areas such as communication, consultation and negotiation.
QTEC offers a range of face-to-face training throughout Queensland as well as live-online sessions. The library of on-demand topics continues to be developed in order to meet the needs of union reps. Courses are facilitated by Union Officers and the QTEC Coordinator.
QTEC events are for financial members of the Union only.
