Grant Description
The Growing Workforce Participation Fund supports industry-led initiatives that increase labour market participation among disadvantaged jobseekers in Queensland. Delivered under the Queensland Government’s Back to Work initiative, the program provides grants of $20,000 to $200,000 to industry organisations and eligible not-for-profit groups to develop sustainable workforce solutions and partnerships with employers. The fund focuses on supporting disadvantaged jobseekers—including young people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and long-term unemployed individuals—while addressing workforce shortages and improving long-term employment outcomes in regional Queensland and selected South-East Queensland locations.
