An Expression of Interest process is now open for new projects under the Queensland Government’s Workforce Connect Fund.

The Fund provides an opportunity for industry and community peak bodies across Queensland to develop innovative, community-focused projects aimed at addressing workforce challenges.

The Workforce Connect Fund will support projects that:

• Build strong connections and collaboration across communities and industries.
• Explore and trial new solutions to industry-specific workforce issues.
• Deliver long-term, sustainable outcomes that strengthen Queensland’s workforce.

Eligible organisations are encouraged to submit an application that demonstrates how their initiative will engage partners, test new ideas, and help create more resilient, future-ready industries.

Program guidelines for Round 3 are available on the Queensland Government website:

The Capricornia Chamber of Commerce encourages local peak bodies and industry groups across Central Queensland to consider this opportunity to collaborate and innovate in addressing workforce challenges within our region.
