Rockhampton residents can explore pathways towards teaching careers by attending an information evening at Central Queensland University next Wednesday (September 22) from 5.30pm-6.30pm.

CQU’s Bachelor of Learning Management (Secondary) Sub-Dean Reyna Zipf said school leavers, university graduates and people with a trade qualification are enouraged to consider becoming a high school teacher.

Ms Zipf said applicants for the secondary school option could consider three pathways – the full degree, a VET pathway for people with a trade qualification and experience, and graduate entry for people with a degree in another area.

She said employers were particularly keen on graduates able to teach in the areas of business and accounting, engineering, science, maths, information and communication technologies, trades, home economics and marine studies.

CQU Rockhampton will also continue to offer the popular BLM primary and early childhood options.

The BLM is a four-year degree which can be completed in three years as a full undergraduate program (for people who do not already have a degree in another area).

A feature of the degree is the early access to classroom experience and active partnerships with a range of employer groups.

The information night will be held in the large lecture theatre in Building 32/1.28.
