Logan Employment programs

The First Start Program offers jobseekers with little or no work experience, opportunities to obtain a traineeship where they can gain on-the-job experience and training at a registered training organisation-and be paid.

Under the Get Set for Work Program locally-based organisations are funded to provide employment and training assistance to 15-17 year olds who are either early school leavers or at risk of disengaging from education.

Indigenous employment measures to assist Indigenous jobseekers include complying with the Indigenous Employment Policy for Queensland Government Building and Civil Construction Projects; employing Indigenous Employment Managers and Training Support officers; and maintaining the Wal-Meta Unit to develop public sector employment and leadership programs for Indigenous Queenslanders.

The Community Literacy Program provides customised language, literacy and numeracy training for jobseekers who need help in these areas, to improve their employment or training outcomes. Youth Training Incentives, subsidies of up to $1,100 (including GST) are available to private sector employers, local government authorities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Councils for taking on school-based apprentices and trainees. Skilling Queenslanders for Work is administered by the Department of Employment Economic Development and Innovation.
