Purpose
To assist 300 aspiring teachers (across 3 cohorts) on a pathway into a teaching career in a Queensland state school through a paid internship.
Under the TTT Program, participants commence the first year of full-time study with a partnering Higher Education Institute (HEI) in an Initial Teacher Education (ITE) program. In the second year, the participants become interns and undertake an internship with a Queensland state school. In this year, the intern is allocated a supervising teacher and a teacher mentor.

Allocation of funds
TTT Program Interns are allocated to Host Schools by the TTT Project Team, for their internship year. The Interns are allocated towards the end of the year prior to their internship year.
Each Intern is allocated a Supervising Teacher and a Mentor Teacher. The allocation of Teacher Relief Scheme (TRS) days per Intern is:
- One (1) TRS day total is allocated for Mentor Teachers per Intern for the internship year.
- Four (4) TRS days total are allocated for Supervising Teachers per Intern for the internship year
Therefore, the total per Host School is five (5) TRS days per Intern for the internship year.
