Queensland VET Investment Plan
The VET Investment plan provides the Queensland Government’s investment into the Vocational Education and Training sector which supports those who are unemployed or seeking a step up, to start on the pathway to a brighter future, and ensures that Queenslanders continue to have access to quality, supportive, and affordable training that meets the ongoing needs of both individuals and employers.
