QUT’s award winning Teaching Advantage (TA) Global program took out the silver prize for Nurturing Employability in the Oceania Awards category at the QS Wharton Reimagine Education Conference, London.
Teaching Advantage (TA) Global is a professional development program for doctoral candidates who are keen to pursue an academic career.
This award-winning Australian program is designed to model innovative, scholarly and evidence-based professional learning to build teaching self-efficacy, community and employability.
The QS Wharton Reimagine Education Awards, fondly known as the ‘Oscars’ of Education’, reward innovative approaches that enhance student learning outcomes and employability.
Specifically, the Nurturing Employability Award is bestowed to the project that can clearly demonstrate a link between the project’s approach and improved employability outcomes for the students.
QUT's TA program is designed and led by Associate Professor Dominique Greer and Professor Larry Neale from QUT Business School, and Professor Abby Cathcart, Director of QUT’s Academy of Learning and Teaching.
Professor Cathcart attended the conference in London to pitch the TA application, and was "thrilled" by the recognition.
“QUT is deeply committed to supporting doctoral candidates in developing and building evidence of their transferable skills as a way of preparing them for a range of careers. We’re thrilled to receive this global recognition for TA," Professor Cathcart said.
At the same event, QUT’s STEM School Engagement program was named international winner of the kindergarten to Year 12 category.
