MTA Queensland has launched the second round of its VET Trainer Scholarship program.

The scholarship offers the opportunity for automotive professionals to further their careers by undertaking the TAE40116-Certificate IV in Training and Assessment Course – a course designed to teach the skills and knowledge required to deliver training in the vocational education and training (VET) sector.

Through the course, participants learn skills in designing, conducting, and assessing training for the vocational sector, while also receiving knowledge in how to facilitate learning in various conditions and evaluate the impacts of various learning programs.

The scholarship is open to individuals across Queensland, and MTA Queensland will provide the recipient with up to $2,500 towards the course, paid to the individual’s chosen Registered Training Organisation. It is open to trade-qualified automotive employees based in Queensland with at least five years’ experience in the trade.
For those eligible to apply, the scholarship represents a tremendous opportunity to take their automotive career in a new direction, share their experience and knowledge, and teach the next generation of automotive professionals.

The first round of the VET Trainer Scholarship was launched at the beginning of this year, and more than 30 tradespeople applied. In the end, it was Wayne Herring, from Cricks Sunshine Coast, who was selected, and MTA Queensland looks forward to offering another enthusiastic tradesperson the chance to follow in Wayne’s footsteps.

The application process for the VET Trainer Scholarship is open now.
