Training strategies in Queensland
In keeping with Queensland's Smart State initiative, the Queensland Government is investing in our most valuable resource: our people.
Queenslanders have a wide range of opportunities available to develop their skills and improve their employment prospects through vocational education and training and employment programs - from pre-vocational, certificate and advanced diploma courses, to apprenticeships, traineeships and work placement schemes. These programs are being delivered throughout the state by public and private training providers, including TAFE institutes, agricultural colleges, local government, indigenous councils, community organisations and private enterprises.
The Queensland Department of Education, Training and the Arts invests heavily in vocational education and training, and in employment initiatives. This crucial public resource is strategically allocated. Thorough planning identifies and prioritises the needs of industries, communities and regions, and the special needs of Queenslanders - including young people, people with a disability, and indigenous peoples. Approximately 300 000 Queenslanders benefit annually from training and employment services funded by the Queensland Government.
The Queensland Government is committed to the well-being of young people and indigenous Queenslanders, the future of our state's communities, and the prosperity of our emerging and established industries.
