Employment Incentives and Assistance
Building
and Construction Industry Training Fund
The Queensland Government, with the support of industry,
provides additional financial incentives to employers within
the building and construction (and related) industries who
recruit apprentices and trainees. An additional incentive
is also available to employers in selected skill shortage
areas within the building and construction (and related) industries
who employ a female apprentice or trainee.
Disabled
New Apprentice Wage Support Program
The Disabled New Apprentice Wage Support Program provides
additional assistance to eligible employers who recruit an
apprentice or trainee with a disability.
First

Hiring an additional apprentice or trainee could attract
a subsidy of up to $16 000 to your organisation. That's the
size of the incentive that the Queensland Government pays
public sector agencies and not-for-profit community organisations
who take on additional job seekers.
