Staff at Central Queensland University will be in the spotlight on Monday following the University's recent win as the Australian and Queensland Education and Training Exporter of the Year.
The Department of State Development will host a special workplace presentation to congratulate CQU’s employees in Rockhampton.
Central Queensland University provides tertiary education at its network of campuses around Australia, as well as offshore in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Fiji. Its multi-campus model is an Australian first, and provides broad study options for both in-country and offshore international students.
Our University has Australia’s highest percentage of international student enrolments with almost 9000 international students from 99 countries enrolled. This is sustained through innovative product and service delivery, sustainable partnering with and ownership of educational services management companies, assertive and uniquely integrated marketing strategies, systematic and informed product development and exemplary customer service.
The University reached the finals of the 2002 Australian Export Awards by winning its category in the Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards.
Also in the running for the Australian Exporter of the Year Award were University of Canberra (ACT), Insearch UTS (NSW), Flinders University (SA), University of Tasmania - International Services Division (Tas), Melbourne University Private Ltd (Vic), and Phoenix English Language Academy (WA).
Minister for Public Works and Minister for Housing, Robert Schwarten will present the Premier of Queensland’s Export Award to Vice-Chancellor and President of CQU, Professor Glenice Hancock, in front of the University Council and staff.
Minister for State Development Tom Barton said CQU’s outstanding success was testament to the dedication and effort of people behind the organisation. Export Award winners were presented with their Awards by Premier Peter Beattie at a gala black tie dinner at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on Wednesday 23 October 2002. The National Export Award was presented in the presence of Prime Minister John Howard in Melbourne on November 23, 2002.
