In this year’s Queensland Training Awards, 175 finalists were selected from 660 applications from across the state to compete in nine categories. Regional winners will progress to the state finals of the prestigious Queensland Training Awards at a gala dinner on Friday 9 September in Brisbane. Queensland Training Award State winners will have the opportunity to progress to the Australian Training Awards in Darwin on Thursday 17 November 2016.
