Program changes
From 1 July 2025, the User Choice program has been replaced by funding for apprenticeships and traineeships through the new Skills Assure Supplier framework.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.
Find out more about the new funded programs.
The User Choice program previously offered funding to help cover the costs of training and assessment services for eligible apprentices and trainees in Queensland.
