Regional Development Australia Wide Bay Burnett congratulates the 2025 North Coast Queensland Training Awards winners. These outstanding students, trainers, employers and training programs are shaping the future of our workforce and demonstrating the value of vocational education across the region.

With this year's theme - ‘Bridging River and Coast – Showcasing our Local Strengths’ - the annual Wide Bay Regional Promotion Night, held a Queensland Parliament, was a unique opportunity to showcase, support, shape, and celebrate our vibrant region to an audience of politicians that work for our communities across this big state.

Jobs Bundaberg, together with Wide Bay Hospital and Health Services and Bundaberg Fruit and Vegetable Growers, recently took the Bundy spirit to Brisbane for Queensland’s biggest careers and employment event. Held alongside the WorldSkills National Championships, the Brisbane Careers & Employment Expo brought together thousands of students, job seekers, career changers and industry leaders—all keen to explore what’s next in work, training, and career pathways.
