Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Staff
At TAFE Queensland we believe that vocational education and training has a key role to play in achieving a united Australia; one where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people participate equally and equitably in all aspects of life.
Our aim is to position TAFE Queensland as the training provider of choice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and the employer of choice for people with diverse backgrounds. Our vision is to advance equal and equitable social and economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Queensland.
TAFE Queensland proudly respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their culture and history. We demonstrate this through building culturally safe learning environments that acknowledge traditional ownership and connection of First Nations people to Country. We take pride in celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements.
TAFE Queensland's Reconciliation Action Plan 2021-23 outlines our continued commitment to reconciliation through the development and implementation of our First Nations Employment Strategy. Some initiatives included in the strategy include:
- Formation of a First Nations Employee Network to inform and guide workforce initiatives as well as providing an opportunity to connect and collaborate in a safe environment;
- Providing entry level pathways for new employees, including Educators;
- Cultural competency training for employees to develop awareness and build cultural capability; and
- Career development and mentoring opportunities to support progression into leadership roles.
