Career Boost aims to take a person’s career to the next level, enabling them to grow and apply their skills to existing or new job roles and to support productivity growth and workplace innovation.
The program delivers training to help individuals develop the higher-level skills needed to secure employment, advance their careers, or progress to further education and training to undertake university or tertiary qualifications.
Career Boost offers either a general training pathway or employment-based apprenticeship or traineeship pathway.
Under Career Boost, an eligible individual may access:
Note: If the individual has already accessed two apprenticeships/traineeships through a school based apprenticeship or traineeship (SAT) or Career Start within the last 10 years, they are not eligible to undertake an apprenticeship/traineeship under Career Boost.
An individual cannot do two general training pathway qualifications under Career Boost. This is to ensure equitable access for all eligible Queenslanders to a training opportunity.
