Workforce Development Solutions

Energy Skills Queensland is viewed by the Energy Industry as a vital source for information and advice regarding skills, training and workforce development. ESQ has established well developed industry networks maintained over many years.

Energy Skills Queensland plays a critical role in leading industry and government engagement on vocational education and training, skills development and labour market analysis.

The persistence of skills shortages over recent years, continuing high levels of replacement demand and the opportunity to respond to the emergence of the renewable energy sector, and CSG/LNG Industry have driven the need for workforce planning and ongoing responsible investment in the training and development of the current and future workforce.

The framework presented in the model below reflects key workforce development solutions being implemented by ESQ under the Energy Industry Skills Plan 2009-2012.
