The Queensland Government’s Good Jobs, Great Training: Queensland Skills Strategy 2024–2028 is focused on providing pathways into quality jobs for Queenslanders. It prioritises both traditional industries and emerging sectors. The strategy aims to strengthen the state's TAFE and training system while increasing investment over the next 5 years to build a skilled workforce.
