Career Start provides individuals with the skills and support to start their career.
This program provides training to help individuals find a job and supports those already employed to move into more skilled roles or full-time employment, including after completing an apprenticeship or traineeship.
Career Start supports delivery of entry level training to students, apprentices and trainees aligned with the skill outcomes required by industry.
Career Start offers either a general training pathway or employment-based apprenticeship or traineeship pathway.
Under Career Start, an individual may access up to two subsidised training places through one of the following options:
• a general training pathway qualification at certificate III and an apprenticeship/traineeship, noting that if the apprenticeship/ traineeship is done first, the individual is no longer eligible to access a general training pathway qualification under Career Start; or
• two apprenticeships/traineeships at either certificate II or III, including school based apprenticeships or traineeships (SATs).
In addition, under Career Start, individuals may access one subsidised introductory-level skill set.
Please note: An individual cannot do two general training pathway qualifications under Career Start. This is to ensure equitable access for all eligible Queenslanders to a training opportunity.
