This complimentary financial sustainability training program has been designed specifically to enhance local government employees’ capabilities in project management, financial management and procurement.
We will work with your council to develop and deliver high-impact, specialised training solutions. We recognise that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and we will work with you to tailor a workshop that delivers the best results for your council.
QTC plays an active role in supporting the financial success of Queensland’s local governments, we have joined with The Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DSDILGP) and The University of Queensland (UQ) to develop this complimentary program for our local government stakeholders.
