Skilling Queenslanders Aims to Skill-Up More Locals

Applications are now open for the next round of Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW).

I am encouraging local community groups, with an interest in getting people into work to partner with Registered Training Organisations and get their applications in.

SQW has seen over 800 locals secure work after completing a program since we came to government in 2015.

SQW provides training to disadvantage people, through targeted programs delivered by local community organisations.

These groups partner with registered training organisations to ensure high quality programs are delivered to participants in fields that local employers want.

Information on how to apply for funding, assessment criteria and more can be found at: www.qld.gov.au/skillingqueenslanders or by calling 1300 369 935.
