About the Queensland Skills Strategy

Good Jobs, Great Training will provide pathways into good jobs for Queenslanders while delivering priority skills in traditional and emerging industries so our communities, industries and economy can thrive.

The strategy further strengthens our TAFE and training system while guiding billions in annual investment in skills over 5 years – funding 1 million subsidised and Free TAFE training places.

It is also Queensland's roadmap to deliver on the National Skills Agreement, tackling national priorities like critical skills growth, delivering TAFE Centres of Excellence, improving course completions and greater access to foundation skills.

The strategy is an action under the Good people. Good jobs: Queensland Workforce Strategy 2022–2032.
