The Palaszczuk Government’s investment and skills and training is paying off, with a new report showing more than 16,000 Queenslanders started an apprentice or traineeship in the December 2020 quarter – up 11 per cent from 2019.
The latest figures from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), also show that more than 10% of workers employed within trade occupations in Queensland were an apprentice or trainee.
Minister for Training and Skills Development and Minister for Employment and Small Business Di Farmer said the Palaszczuk Government had put investing in skills at the heart of the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan.

Morrison Government delivers apprenticeships boom
New data released by the Morrison Government demonstrates Australia is in the midst of an apprenticeships boom with apprentice and trainee starts or ‘commencements’ for the December quarter 2020 at a five-year high and dramatically higher than the same quarter in 2019, pre-COVID.
The data, capturing the first quarter of the Morrison Government’s Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements wage subsidy, shows apprenticeship commencements for the December quarter 2020 increased by 141.5 per cent compared with the December quarter 2019 (October to December) with the total number of apprentices and trainees in-training at 297,920, an increase of 13.9 per cent from 31 December 2019.
