Jobs Queensland was created to provide the insight and intelligence needed to help foster a skilled and productive workforce for Queensland, now and for the future; a workforce designed to meet the future needs of a growing, modern economy. To do this, Jobs Queensland brings together industry, industry associations and peak bodies, unions, employers, regions and communities to: provide strategic advice on workforce planning and development initiatives to achieve future skills and workforce needs; help government prioritise its investment in vocational education and training (VET); and build on the role of apprenticeships and traineeships as a key pathway to employment and a skilled workforce. Jobs Queensland also undertakes research to support this work and engages, collaborates and promotes these activities to ensure there is awareness across industry, government, regions and the broader community.
