Teaching in schools is a rewarding career, offering teachers the opportunity to combine intellectual challenge and creativity while helping students to become lifelong learners and valuable members of our community.
Teachers are valued and respected members of the community. In fact, teaching is one of the most highly regarded professions, with public surveys ranking teaching in the top four professions in terms of ethics and honesty. It's a challenging, rewarding and constantly changing career.
Why teach? Because teachers make a real difference.
More information about teaching in Queensland schools is available at the Employing Quality Teachers website.
Teaching in TAFE is a fulfilling and rewarding career that enables you to share your extensive trade, professional or technical knowledge, skills and experience to develop the skills of the next generation.
Embracing innovation, technology and links with industry, TAFE teachers are highly valued for their contribution to training in critical skill shortage areas, boosting Queensland's skills base and building the future workforce.
To become a TAFE teacher usually requires the completion of an appropriate qualification and experience in a trade/profession/craft/vocational area or field of study relevant to the field you wish to teach in.
If you are a professional tradesperson, trade teacher or have trade experience and looking for a new and exciting change of career as a TAFE teacher, Teach your trade 
may provide you the opportunity to teach the next generation of trades people.
