Employment & Training Campaign
At the Founding Assembly, 30 August 2017, we launched our campaign for better EMPLOYMENT & VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
You can read our Research Action Team's Report and see the video below.
Take Action Now:
-
Attend our Employment Forum on 17th Sept 4 for 4.30-6.30pm. We're bringing people together to share stories, develop a common vision and commit to action.
If you have a story or a passion about quality work we need you! Whether it's about getting work, keeping a job, exploitation at work, and the need for quality training that leads to quality employment.
-
Sign our petition asking Minister Shannon Fentiman to restore quality and public confidence in vocational training in Qld.
-
Download our Issues Survey and distribute it in your organisation to gather stories and recruit people to take action.
What we've won so far:
-
New Labour Hire Inspectors to expose exploitative employment practices for Qld’s most vulnerable workers.
-
A commitment to particularly targeting these inspectors to contract cleaning, seasonal farm work and hospitality.
-
The establishment of a new government-led apprenticeship program under Qld Government's Building Asset Services.
-
Changes to implementation of Schools Solar program that ensure procurement policies will be triggered and extra apprentices are employed.
