Skilling Queenslanders for Work and Indigenous Workforce and Skills Development grant workshops!
QCOSS works with the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training to support our sector to apply for Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW) funding.
These practical workshops, happening in locations across Queensland during July, August and September, are for people who write grant and funding applications and are looking to refine their skills.
