Queensland's Training and Employment Board was an independent advisory body to the Queensland Government, providing strategic advice on the planning and resourcing of the state's vocational education and training system. The Board, established under the Training and Employment Act 2000, comprised up to 15 members drawn from industry, unions and the community, ensuring broad expertise and community representation. The Act also established the Training Recognition Council to advise the Board and to oversee regulatory requirements for the training system.

The annual reports include the Chair's Report, Board profile and members, major activities, future initiatives, Board representation and attendances, and financial statement. The Training and Employment Board was abolished under the Vocational Education, Training and Employment Amendment Act 2005.
