Better Together is proud to be part of the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative, which helps eligible Queenslanders develop skills, gain qualifications and provide direct assistance to enter and stay in the workforce.
The initiative offers programs that deliver training to improve skills and employment opportunities. The programs focus on supporting young people (including those in and transitioning from out-of-home care), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disabilities, mature-age job seekers, women re-entering the workforce, veterans and ex-service personnel and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Better Together’s Skilling Queensland for Work program is a state award-winning training program. Winning the “Community Initiative Training award” in 2017 is an honour that we’re extremely proud of.
