Teacher Professional Development

The Gateway to industry schools program provides professional development for teaching staff. Teachers apply skills gained back to the classroom to ensure that they are providing students with up-to-date, techniques and trends that reflect industry standards.

The Queensland College of Wine Tourism (QCWT) offers a selection of experiential food and wine opportunities developed for teachers.

Our plans

Gateway teacher professional development events change from year to year based on our annual survey feedback collated from teachers. This ensures the events we collaborate and offer are exactly what teachers need and want for their skill sets to then assist them for delivery in the classroom.

We host one major teacher PD event each year along with smaller region by region teacher events based on demand. Please visit the Gateway events page to see what currently is on offer. The Gateway event calendar is continually changing and being updated so we encourage you to keep checking back on our events page to stay up to date. Also, like our Facebook page to keep up to date on all events and news.
