History of the Queensland Skills Plan
The Queensland Skills Plan 2008 realigned the direction of the original Queensland Skills Plan released in March 2006. The original plan marked the most significant overhaul of the state's vocational education and training system in 40 years and was developed through a process of consultation with a broad cross-section of Queenslanders.
