Community
Q.I.T.E. is making a direct and economic difference to our communities by investing in Business Enterprises.
These enterprises are established to meet the needs identified within the community, and/or opportunities identified for disadvantaged target groups. Q.I.T.E. has provided funding and on-going subsidies where required, to ensure viable business enterprises can provide opportunities for work experience, skills training, and employment.
Community Enterprises
Q.I.T.E.’s Business Enterprises include:
- QT’S Early Learning Centre
- Passenger Transport Service servicing farmers and clients
Q.I.T.E. proudly represents the community on local, regional and national issues relating to training, employment and social inclusion.
Q.I.T.E. has been part of the Tablelands and Cairns region for over 30 years and we work consistently to build and maintain positive pro-active relationships with other service providers, government agencies and local government.
