Vocational Education & Training Professional Development Workshops

Please click here to view the 2012 CQUniversity School of Education Professional Development Workshops.

In 2012, the School of Education, in association with its professional and industry partners will be continuing its very successful vocational professional development workshops in the teaching discipline areas of Industrial Technology and Design (ITD) and Home Economics/Hospitality. Students enrolled in CQ11 - Bachelor of Learning Management (Secondary and Vocational Education and Training) and CQ10 - Bachelor of Learning Design are able to complete the summative assessment items associated with each workshop and then apply for credit against one of their Discipline study courses. These courses are also available to registered teachers and teachers working in Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) such as TAFE colleges, for use as professional development opportunities to up skill or re-train into these high demand teaching areas.
