Skilling Queenslanders for Work Initiative
Our Skilling Queenslanders for Work, ''Ignite Your Opportunities'' Program is aimed to help people in the community gain valuable work skills and employment. At Apprentices and Trainees Queensland, we have welcomed trainees to complete a Certificate I in Workplace Skills (Business) in Gladstone and Rockhampton, as well as the opportunity to earn a Certificate I in Workplace Skills (Hospitality) in Rockhampton.
Each intake secures traineeships for up to 10 participants per program, and they are placed with not-for-profit community organisations in Central Queensland. Not only is this partnership highly beneficial to trainees through diversity in training as well as networking opportunities for future employment, but it also aids community partners in return. Not-for-profits have welcomed hosting a trainee from ATQLD for 18 weeks, as it supports their organisation at no extra cost.
The Skilling Queenslanders for Work Initiative is proudly funded by the Queensland Government.
Are you a NFP Organisation?
Seize the opportunity to empower your community through the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative. ATQLD has secured State Government funding to support several trainees in our Central Queensland region with the opportunity of full-time traineeships in Rockhampton or Gladstone areas.
This initiative offers individuals an opportunity to embark on a journey of personal and professional development by attaining a Certificate I in Workplace Skills (Business and/or Hospitality). Over the span of 18 weeks, participants will immerse themselves in a comprehensive, full-time program designed to provide invaluable skills and knowledge with not-for-profit community partners.
