We’re here to connect and support you and the wider industry with the skills, opportunities, and information to build a thriving sector.
Our vision is for Queensland manufacturing to thrive with a skill, adaptive workforce – where industry needs are translated into coordinated training solutions, every manufacturer can access the talent they require, and the sector is a powerful driver of economic prosperity and innovation.
Our industry employs more than 170,000 people and contributed $28.9 billion to the Queensland economy last financial year. Queensland’s abundant natural resources, comprehensive transport and infrastructure networks, world-class universities and training institutes make the State an attractive place to operate.
Yet, the manufacturing industry functions in a rapidly changing operational environment with skill and labour shortages, technology advancements, and workforce challenges.
MSQ’s aim is to ensure the industry has a diverse and sustainably skilled workforce ready to embrace new and emerging technologies and respond to economic opportunities or challenges.
We’re focused on attracting, retaining, and developing capability in the sector. Through industry engagement, evidence-based research and partnerships, MSQ is working to create the skills pathways for the future of manufacturing in Queensland.
