Upcoming Traineeships with South Burnett Regional Council
Council will once again partner with the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) and the Queensland State Government to
fund, recruit and select the right people to train with Council for ten 12-month traineeships.
This training is proudly funded by the Queensland Government through its First Start program under the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative. First Start provides wage subsidies to local councils and community-based organisations to employ additional trainees. The program offers opportunities to young people and disadvantaged job seekers to gain nationally recognised qualifications and 12 months employment by undertaking a traineeship.
The traineeships will be advertised on Council’s website on Thursday 12 January 2023. Applicants will be able to apply through Seek.com.au by selecting the link provided on Council’s Employment page.
The eligibility to apply for these traineeships is as per the First Start funding requirements listed below.
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 years), 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.
This is a great pathway for people that leads to real qualifications and future job opportunities.
Council looks forward to the next group of trainees to better assist in serving the community in front line services.
