ATEC acknowledges the following funding partners and programs
Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ)
Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) is an independent, not-for-profit, industry funded body supporting employers, workers, apprentices, trainees and career seekers in the building and construction industry.
CSQ provides funding to reduce the financial obstacle to training, making up-skilling an affordable option for many more individuals in the construction industry.
CSQ-funded training is delivered by a range of selected registered training organisations (RTOs) across Queensland.
CSQ contributes towards the cost of courses to reduce the cost to participants. CSQ funding is paid directly to the contracted RTO generally between 75% and 100% of course costs.
