Skilling Queenslanders for Work

Work Skills Traineeships offer disadvantaged Queenslanders employment for up to six months on public works, community, hospitality, retail and environmental projects. 

As part of this project, participants undertake formal training and assessment with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) which will lead to a nationally recognised qualification in Work Skills.

MCC provides these Traineeships in the form of a 24-week fulltime paid position. While working in the community centre the trainees have the ability to grow and develop skills related to the community centre running. During this time the trainees are able to be upskilled with further external training opportunities and volunteering experience in other organisations.
