Skilling Queenslanders for Work

Over 45's Experience Counts ...Re-invest in your future…

Assisted by the Queensland Government Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation through the 'Skilling Queenslanders for Work ' initiative.

The Over 45...Experience Counts ...Re-invest in your future… project provides FREE job preparation assistance to eligible community members over 45 who are unemployed or under employed (working less than 25 hours a week). The project aims to provide opportunities for eligible participants to up-skill or re-skill through job preparation assistance and volunteering as a pathway to employment to gain practical work experience and develop employability and industry skills. Experience has shown that the majority of volunteers move on to employment.
