Employment programs

To help jobseekers overcome employment barriers, and to meet Queensland’s need for a skilled workforce, the Department of Employment Economic Development and Innovation administers programs that improve and increase opportunities for employment.

The Productivity Places Program (PPP) is part of the joint Australian, State and Territory Governments initiative to provide additional training places for existing workers and job seekers. It's part of the Australian Government's Skilling Australia for the Future policy  which in Queensland is being jointly managed by the Department of Education Training and the Arts and the Department of Employment Economic Development and Innovation. A component of the job seeker training places will be administered through the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative.
