ELECTION 2009 - PREMIER TO EXPAND QUEENSLAND'S TRAINING SYSTEM

ELECTION 2009 - PREMIER TO EXPAND QUEENSLAND'S TRAINING SYSTEM
The State Government will invest over $124 million to help create nearly 150,000 training places over the next four years in a record expansion of the Queensland skills base. Premier Anna Bligh said the State's $124 million investment will secure an additional $259 million from the Commonwealth Government and nearly $31 million from industry to complete a $414 million program. The plan is in addition to the Labor Government's existing commitment under the Queensland Skills Plan to deliver an additional 17,000 training places a year by 2010.
