About MRAEL
MRAEL is Queensland’s leading provider of education, training, and employment services. With 39 years of industry experience, we operate a number of companies, all with the core objective of contributing to the growth, development and sustainability of a skilled workforce for the future.
MRAEL’s History
MRAEL began business in 1985, initially as a small Apprentice Employment Service based in Mackay, Central Queensland, employing apprentices and trainees and working with local businesses to provide training opportunities. In the more than 35 years since then, we have grown considerably to become a ‘one-solution’ provider of education, training, and employment services with an extensive operating footprint across Queensland and into New South Wales.
In our more than three decades of business, we have remained a proudly not-for-profit organisation and firmly committed to creating new apprenticeship opportunities, providing training, and connecting people and businesses to strengthen the future, and the sustainable development, of the workforce.
