Embracing digital transformation and technological innovation is essential for manufacturers to remain competitive. Leaders in the manufacturing industry require a diverse skill set to effectively navigate the complexities of the industry and drive success.
Queensland manufacturers face an increasingly complex range of challenges, from high costs, changing market conditions to labour attraction, retention and management. In 2024-25 we will provide a range of funded short course training for emerging, new and existing leaders to support their growth and development.

An evidence-based course designed to provide leaders and managers with the knowledge, skills and tools to build their personal psychological resilience and influence improved resilience of their team members.
We will invest in higher level skills of leaders by facilitating access to advanced training, fostering deeper expertise, and paving the way for career progression. This will enable leaders to pursue specialised training, such as advanced engineering or strategic management, enhancing their ability to drive innovation and productivity within the manufacturing sector.
Manufacturing is undergoing transformation as technological advancements, automation and sustainable practices revolutionise traditional processes. The integration of smart technologies, digitalisation, and additive manufacturing is reshaping traditional skill sets. Consequently, our trades are also evolving to meet the demands of this dynamic industry. Our research will look at future trends to reimagine job roles and associated qualifications.
