Investing in the future of the manufacturing industry
The significance of Queensland’s manufacturing industry in today’s global economy cannot be overstated. Almost everything we use in our daily lives—from the clothes we wear to the devices we rely on—has been created through the transformative process of manufacturing. As the industry adapts and grows, we need to ensure our investment in training and skills keep paces, supporting manufacturers to innovate and stay competitive.
In 2024, Manufacturing Skills Queensland will release its first Annual Training Plan (ATP). The ATP will support industry to address critical skills and workforce challenges through targeted investment and training programs. To ensure that we develop an ATP that will deliver the biggest impact, we want to hear from leaders, professionals, and experts in industry—your input is vital and will help us focus our efforts.
