Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements
The Boosting Apprenticeship Commencement wage subsidy supports business and Group Training Organisations to take on new apprentices and trainees, to build a pipeline of skilled workers to support sustained economic recovery. Through the subsidy, any business or Group Training Organisation that engages an Australian Apprentice between 5 October 2020 and 31 March 2022 may be eligible for a subsidy of 50 per cent of wages paid to a new or recommencing apprentice or trainee for a 12-month period from the date of commencement to a maximum of $7,000 per quarter.
Certificate 3 Guarantee
The Certificate 3 Guarantee supports eligible individuals to complete their first post-school certificate III qualification. The program also supports school students to access training and Queensland's Year 12 graduates to transition to employment by providing free training in high priority qualifications.
User Choice
The User Choice program funds nationally recognised, accredited training and assessment services for eligible Queensland apprentices and trainees. Instead of paying for the full cost of training, apprentices or trainees and their employers will pay a reduced amount.
Under the User Choice 2021 - 2022 program, funding will specifically, target the occupational outcomes of the apprenticeship or traineeship, and align with the skill outcomes required by the industry. Eligible individuals can only receive one government contribution for a User Choice funded qualification.
