ResetThe RESET project was held through the months of September - December in 2020 in three locations: Cairns (FNQ), Rockhampton (CQ) and Toowoomba (DD) with local activators to assist with design, communication and events management. A set of Digital Toolkits were developed for each area to help businesses reset after a challenging year. These toolkits will be made available to QSEC members in 2021. |
