The Queensland Future Skills Partnership Pilot Program is about fast-tracking development and delivering automated technology pathways, skillsets and qualifications to Queensland’s resources sector. Advance Queensland is partnering with BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), TAFE Queensland and CQUniversity on the initiative.
Advance Queensland is supporting the implementation of the pilot programs to enable existing workers, particularly in regional locations, to acquire new skills in new technologies, such as cyber security, data management, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and many more. Although it’s targeted at the resources sector, the training and skills can be transferred to other sectors, such as defence and agriculture.
