The Queensland Government Building and Construction Training Policy (‘Training Policy’) supports employment opportunities and skills development in Queensland’s building and civil construction industry. The Training Policy also focuses on increasing the economic independence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders in the industry.

The Training Policy is one element in a longstanding partnership between the building and civil construction industry and the Queensland Government to develop the industry’s skills base and future workforce capability. It requires contractors to employ apprentices and trainees and undertake other workforce training as a mandated component of being awarded work on eligible Queensland Government projects.
