QUTeX Professional and Executive Education

Congratulations to our 2024 Pathways to Politics for Women cohort on successfully completing the program! We are thrilled to see the incredible progress each of you has made and eagerly anticipate the next steps in your political journey. On the first day of the final workshop, the cohort explored leadership and ethics. On the second day, the 21 participants presented their stump speeches in Parliament before a panel followed by celebrating their graduation. On behalf of both the cohort and program organizers, we extend our sincere gratitude to the speakers from workshop three: Hon. Yvette D’Ath, Hon. Joan Sheldon AM, Jackie Trad, Sallyanne Atkinson AO, and Juliette Wright OAM. We also appreciate the time and feedback provided by our speech convenors and panelists: Madonna King, Aubrey Waren, Nyree Slatter, Margaret de Wit, OAM, and Hon Mary Crawford. #QUT #PathwayToPolitics #WomenInPolitics

Last weekend, we kicked off the 2024 #PathwaysToPoliticsForWomen program with our new cohort! The cohort began by reflecting on what they wished to get from the program, receiving advice on how to make the most of the three workshops, and starting to explore their own personal roadmaps in politics. On Friday night, our facilitators, advisory committee, and alum came together to welcome the new cohort to the Pathways family. This included connecting with some of the alum who were elected in the March Queensland local elections. Our 2024 cohort and the alum participated in a hybrid event, where they were divided into small groups to discuss and ask questions about the alumnae's journeys from the Pathways program to political office. We look forward to our next workshop where we will explore campaigning, fundraising, media training, political speeches and economics. We would like to thank our speakers, Bree James, Ann Aitken, Mayor Jos Mitchell, Minister Meaghan Scanlan, Sophia Li, Fiona Hammond, Benita Suckling, Cr Jodie Shipway, Tanya Milligan, Angie Bell, Julie-Ann Campbell, Minister Leanne Linard, Melina Morgan, Kate Samois, Cr Trina Massey, Cr Nicole Johnston, Kate Flanders, Barbara O’Shea, Cr Julia Dixon, Maggie Forrest, and Michaela Sargent.
