Program changes
From 1 July 2025, the Higher Level Skills program has been replaced by the Career Boost program through the new Skills Assure Supplier framework.
Training providers with continuing students should first review the continuing students policy and contact their contract manager for additional information.
The Higher Level Skills program provided eligible individuals with access to a Queensland Government funded training place in selected certificate IV level or above qualifications, and priority skill sets.
