Grant Description
The Small Business Apprenticeship Pilot Program is a $19 million Queensland Government initiative designed to support up to 2,000 small and family businesses in employing construction, plumbing, engineering, and electrical apprentices from 1 July 2025. The program reimburses employers for a portion of apprentice wages during block training periods—50% for first and second-year apprentices and 25% for third and fourth years—encouraging apprenticeship commencements, completions, and workforce capability in Queensland’s construction sector.
