South Burnett Regional Council is again partnering with the Local Government Association of Queensland and the State Government to offer 10 one-year traineeships.
The traineeships will be advertised on Council’s website on January 12.

This training is funded by the State Government through its First Start program under the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative.

Participants must be:
- Queensland residents
- Aged 15 years or older and no longer attending school
- Able to meet citizen, residency and visa requirements to undertake a traineeship
Key target groups are:
- Young people (aged 15-24), including those in and transitioned from out-of-home care
- Long-term unemployed job seekers
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- Mature-age job seekers (45 years or older)
- Migrants and refugees from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
- People with disability
- Displaced workers
- Women re-entering the workforce
- Veterans, ex-ADF personnel and their families.
The traineeships offer a pathway that leads to real qualifications and future job opportunities.
