From casual roles to secure employment 👷♀️
Haylee wanted something more than short-term retail work, but finding stable employment wasn’t easy. That changed when she joined a Skilling Queenslanders for Work traineeship in Bundaberg.
Through the 26-week program, Haylee gained hands-on construction experience, built confidence and developed job-ready skills, while contributing to meaningful community projects.
Just over 20 weeks in, she applied for a role with Bundy Hot Gas and secured a full-time, permanent position! Now, Haylee is building new skills every day in a supportive workplace she genuinely enjoys.
Delivered by BUSY At Work and funded by the Queensland Government, Skilling Queenslanders for Work helps job seekers gain practical experience and take real steps toward sustainable employment.

From hands-on training to real job opportunities 👷♂️✨
Through the Skilling Queenslanders for Work program, twelve Gladstone job seekers have completed a 20-week paid traineeship and achieved their Certificate I in Construction!
Working on the Gladstone Thistle Pipe Band Hall, participants rolled up their sleeves to refurbish the site, learning everything from carpentry and painting to landscaping and tool use. But it wasn’t just about the practical skills — confidence, teamwork and motivation grew just as much.
For some, the impact has already been life-changing. One participant stepped straight into employment after graduating, while others are now pursuing apprenticeships or exploring new career pathways they once thought were out of reach.
Delivered by BUSY At Work, the Skilling Queenslanders for Work program helps job seekers gain real-world experience, build job-ready skills and connect with employers, all while giving back to their local community.
BUSY is proud to support programs like this that create genuine opportunities and help people build confidence, capability and a pathway into sustainable employment 💛
