The Bligh Government will partner with industry to deliver more than $2.6 million in training to workers in the tourism and hospitality industry. Education and Training Minister Geoff Wilson said the Government would work with the Queensland Tourism Industry Council to deliver the Productivity Places Program. "The Bligh Government is meeting its commitment to boosting the number of training places and improving training for existing workers to make them more employable," Mr Wilson said. "The program will deliver high-level training to 600 workers during the next two years. "More industry input into training will mean better outcomes for the sector. "It will help leverage industry contributions towards upskilling the workforce and ensure the training sector is more responsive to the future needs of the industry."
