Skilling Queenslanders for Work

Skilling Queenslanders for Work helps eligible Queenslanders develop skills, gain qualifications and provide direct assistance to enter and stay in the workforce.

The initiative offers six programs that deliver training to improve skills and employment opportunities. The program focuses on supporting young people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, mature-age job seekers and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The programs are delivered across the state by community-based organisations, local councils, Parents and Citizens’ and Parents and Friends associations.
