Work Placements
The Community Jobs Plan funds community and public sector organisations to employ long-term unemployed people and help them gain the confidence and experience to get back into the workforce.
Job Preparation Assistance
The Community Employment Assistance Program funds community organisations to provide long-term unemployed people with job preparation, job search assistance, and training.
First Start Program
The First Start Program aims to increase the number of additional full-time traineeships in the public and community sectors through the provision of wage subsidies. To ensure the program achieves the Government's desired outcomes for Queensland, it is imperative that these traineeships be additional to current proposed intake numbers and will not result in the displacement of existing workers.
Community Training Partnerships
The Community Literacy Program will aim to skill the most disadvantaged Queenslanders who have low levels of language, literacy and numeracy, through customised language, literacy and numeracy assistance.
