Well, where did July go? This month we enjoyed the face-to-face company of all our trainers from throughout the state here at the Head Office in Eight Mile Plains. As you can imagine, it’s a pleasure to catch-up in-person, particularly after that Covid thingy and, of course, with most trainers working remotely most of the year.

As a group we actively participated in this year’s Carmageddon, the innovation symposium hosted by the mother company, MTA Queensland.

Our participation at Carmageddon formed part of an intense three-day professional development program aimed at keeping our trainers current and engaged with industry.

Agenda items at this trainers’ conference included additional electric vehicle training, cultural awareness training, training on managing difficult clients, updates on the institute’s administration, quality, and our never-ending compliance journey. While these bi-annual trainers conferences are invaluable in an engagement and professional development sense, they also fulfil our regulatory requirement.

Regulatory requirements aside, we absolutely enjoyed having everyone together and look forward to December for another catch-up. We anticipate December’s conference will be packed full of the latest technical information which will assist us in the field to continue to educate our trainees and apprentices.

That’s it for now. Catch you soon.
