Industry Skills Solutions will fast-track skills development in industries that are critical to Queensland's growing economy.
An initial $8 million investment for 2024–25 will focus on 4 priority industry areas:
- aged care
- construction
- early childhood education and care
- women working in non-traditional industries.
This is a collaborative co-design model where employers and industry will partner with the Queensland Government, and training providers to create and deliver fit-for-purpose training responses to:
- attract and retain new workers
- reskill, upskill, or build on the existing qualifications and skills of existing employees
- initiate skilling solutions where an accredited pathway is not yet available.
Under Industry Skills Solutions, initiatives will focus on:
- Vocational education and training products
The development of vocational education and training (VET) products, such as new qualifications, micro-credentials, skill sets, units of competency and non-accredited training courses. - Skills gap training
The development of solutions that analyse and address the gaps between an employee's existing skills and those required by changing rapidly industries. - Workforce development
The development of strategies to help businesses prepare their workforce for evolving workplaces with emerging technologies. The focus here is on rapidly changing and growing industries.
