Queensland is gearing up to supercharge its in-demand workforces with Industry Skills Solutions, an initiative designed to fast-track skills development in key sectors driving the state's economy.
The Industry Skills Solutions initiative, backed by $8 million in 2024–25 through the Queensland Skills Strategy, first focuses developing skilling solutions for the following priority industry areas:
- aged care
- construction
- early childhood education and care
- non-traditional industries for women.
This collaborative program brings together employers, industry experts, and quality training providers to co-design specialised training solutions.
The goal
Industry Skills Solutions will give employers and industry the power to create and deliver fit-for-purpose training responses that will:
- attract new talent
- upskill existing employees
- develop new training pathways where none exist.
The initiative covers a wide range of approaches, from creating new training products like micro-credentials, to addressing skills gaps with targeted industry-led solutions.
With a special focus on workforce development, employers will be better prepared to navigate evolving industries and emerging technologies.
This is a major step towards ensuring Queensland remains a leader in these fast-growing areas of industry.
