Building Our Future Workforce

If you are an employer, keeping pace with growth in Queensland Community Services sector means facing a workforce growth rate that is more than double the average growth rate predicted for Australia*. Therefore meeting this growth will require new recruits to enter the sector now and into the future.

The Community Services Gateway to Industry Schools Project is a forward-thinking approach to promote Community Sector jobs to our young people and ensure an ongoing supply of industry-mentored workforce in the years to come.

Are you able to offer one hour, four times a year to colloborate with schools, industry, local and state governments and community organisation at our Regional Reference Group meetings?

Can you offer opportunities within our organisation for students to be exposed to the industry? Are you able to offer time to be engaged in specific working groups with targeted community services sectors? Do you have young people within your organisation that can become Youth Ambassadors? We have a range of opportunities for employers from small, medium to large size to engage with the project.
