Skilling Queenslanders for Work

Despite Queensland's strong economic and employment growth, for some groups of people, there are still barriers preventing them from getting into the workforce.
The aims of the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative are to give these jobseekers employment and training assistance that is customised to meet their individual needs, and to meet the demands of the labour market for a skilled workforce.
