Apprenticeships work for everyone
Taking on an apprentice works for everyone. They get to learn from your experience and your business gets access to funding and incentives.
Funding rounds for the School to Work Transitions program have now closed.
The School to Work Transitions (S2WT) program is delivering $3 million over 3 years (2022–25) to support school students who are at risk of not transitioning successfully from school to further education, training or employment, by providing tailored solutions to improve post-school outcomes.
The S2WT program has been implemented as part of the school-to-work transitions focus area of the Good people. Good jobs: Queensland Workforce Strategy 2022–2032.
Funded organisations support priority school student groups through:
- creating strong and effective school-industry partnerships across Queensland
- connecting schools, students and employers to maximise local employment opportunities and create youth-friendly workplaces
- enabling tailored assistance and support approaches to be provided to under-represented student groups.
The priority school student groups are:
- school-based apprentices and trainees
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students
- students from schools with an Index of Community Socio-educational Advantage (ICSEA) below 900
- rural and remote students
- under-represented groups in the workforce
- place-based strategies in areas with high youth unemployment and/or significant workforce strategies that could be filled by school leavers.
Successful funded projects from the 3 rounds
