QLD Skills Strategy

The Queensland Skills Strategy is Queensland’s five-year plan to further strengthen the state’s training system to deliver skills needed to power our economy and provide access to good jobs with better pay for Queenslanders.

The strategy is also Queensland’s roadmap to deliver on the landmark National Skills Agreement, maximising opportunities and outcomes for Queensland across national priorities such as critical skills growth, delivering TAFE Centres of Excellence, Closing the Gap for First Nations Queenslanders, improving course completions and providing greater access to foundation skills.

The strategy’s five focus areas are:

• Skills for good jobs – Get more Queenslanders into highly skilled jobs quicker.

• Training that has the power to change lives – Support Queenslanders to access the lifelong benefits of training for good, highly skilled jobs.

• TAFE for all Queenslanders – Deliver training across Queensland and skills for local economies by putting TAFE at the heart of the training system.

• A training system backing Queenslanders – Build on the strengths of our world-class training system by working with our partners, promoting opportunities offered by training and standing up for Queenslanders.

• Quality and results driven – Focus on economic priorities, local needs and student outcomes so our training system delivers for Queensland.
