Now more than ever Queensland’s future prosperity relies upon the public and private sectors working better together to tackle our State’s challenges and to take advantage of its many opportunities.
The QFI takes the position that empowering and building the capability of both the public and private sectors will lead to more informed, efficient, and faster economic outcomes. We believe that improved collaboration will deliver better economic growth through improved service delivery, more efficient and effective public policy, funding and investment programs.
The QFI has underway a significant investment in partnering with its tertiary institution members to develop and deliver the highest quality joint learning and development programs for the public and private sectors: QFI Learning
As with all that QFI does, the formation of QFI Learning has been based on the fundamentals of collaboration, and quality.
Tertiary Education Partnerships
QFI Learning programs are developed and delivered in partnership with Queensland’s world class tertiary institutions. We leverage the expertise and quality of our best learning institutions, our brightest educators, partnering with government, business and industry to develop new courses and approaches to delivery.
Our program of short courses is expertly tailored to meet the needs of learners, emphasising quality and relevance to the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Joint Public-Private Sector Learning
QFI Learning programs bring private and public sector representatives together in learning environments that encourage open and transparent exploration of challenges and opportunities.
The core principles of our joint learning program focus on forging:
- Improved understanding of respective operating environments, drivers and barriers
- Broader, deeper, multi-sectorial networks
- Exposure to new ideas, approaches and solutions
- Greater understanding, respect and tolerance.
The courses are ideal for leaders, executives and those aspiring to enhance their capacity to address diverse challenges, foster cooperation, and deliver transformative results. They are designed for individuals seeking to navigate complex, cross-sector environments, drive meaningful change and achieve sustainable outcomes for Queensland’s future.
With a strong emphasis on real-world application and collaboration, these programs are designed to empower participants to lead Queensland into a future defined by faster economic growth and development.
2025 EXECUTIVE PUBLIC SECTOR AND INDUSTRY PROGRAM
This program seeks to actively support the growth and development of Queensland’s Public Sector by fostering purposeful engagement between Queensland’s public and private sectors.
