10 per cent Training Policy
About the 10 per cent Training Policy
The policy requires that a minimum of 10 per cent of the total labour hours on any Queensland Government building or civil construction project (valued over $250,000 for building or $500,000 for civil construction) must be undertaken by Indigenous workers, apprentices, trainees or cadets or used for the upskilling of existing employees (to a maximum of 25 per cent of the deemed hours).
What is the 10 per cent Training Policy?
The State Government Building and Construction Contracts Structured Training Policy - the 10 per cent Training Policy - plays a key role in ensuring the building and construction industry continues to employ apprentices and trainees and upskill its existing workforce.
The policy requires contractors to ensure employment and structured training occurs on State Government building and construction contracts to address skills shortages and create additional employment opportunities in the building and construction industry.
