Queensland Workforce Strategy providing practical support for employers

 

Queensland employers are able to access a range of workforce related support thanks to the Queensland Workforce Strategy 2022–2032.

 

The strategy includes $70 million for new and expanded initiatives that build upon the extensive suite of existing government support for Queensland's workforce.

 

Small to medium businesses can reach out to an Industry Workforce Advisor in their industry or related industry to help identify solutions to their specific workforce challenges. The advisors can assist to develop a workforce plan or connect with available support, including government programs and funding.

 

Through the Workforce Connect Fund, employers will benefit from a range of industry and community-led projects to address attraction, retention and participation issues within specific industries. Through the fund, small businesses with an immediate human resources (HR) need can also apply for a HR Support Grant of up to $5,000 (subject to available funding) to implement new and innovative HR solutions. 

 

Employers can also have a one-on-one session with business mentors through the Mentoring for Growth program to get options and ideas to solve workforce challenges or other business issues.

 

Other QWS programs available to Queensland employers to assist in attracting and retaining workers include the Diverse Queensland Workforce program which can connect employers with local migrants, refugees and international students looking for work.

 

The Back to Work program also provides eligible Queensland employers with a range of financial and non-financial support when employing and retaining an eligible jobseeker through the program.
