Sustainability is becoming more and more important for businesses in a range of different industries. Whether it’s a taxi company moving to hybrid vehicles or a retail store installing solar panels into their roof, there’s no shortage of ways for organisations to lessen their impact on the environment.
Queensland’s large and fruitful coastline means the state is home to a diverse range of industries, all of which provide their own unique set of apprentice opportunities to people.
Queensland’s active mining sector contributes more than $1.5 million in royalties to the state’s government, according to the Queensland Resources Council, ensuring that important services continue to receive funding.
The growing trade relationships between Australian and its Asian counterparts are beginning to show their value to Queensland, and these will be further strengthened in the Advance Queensland Summit set to take place in late April.
Australia’s mineral deposits have long been the source of apprenticeship opportunities in Australia, with Queensland in particular supporting a strong mining sector. It’s an industry whose success is predicated on exploration, and a fresh commitment to creating new infrastructure ensures these employment opportunities will remain open.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is changing the way Australia funds the care of those with serious disabilities. In Queensland, the legislation is leading to new funding to improve the care of the state’s most vulnerable people, particularly in remote areas.
In what promises to be an awesome afternoon of fun and frivolity, BUSY At Work are sponsoring a charity luncheon to help raise funding and awareness of childhood cancer.
Six participants celebrated with their families yesterday as they proudly graduated in a 12 week pre-employment course (R U BUSY?) delivered at the Busy Beat Hub, Southport.
Between the first and 26th of September, community groups and registered training organisations will be able to apply for funding of up to $400,000 for helping individuals study towards a qualification.
Liam came onto the 1st R U BUSY? program for 2014 facing many barriers, homelessness being one of them. Liam was referred to the program by Lawson House (youth homeless accommodation) and even after the R U BUSY? program had finished, Liam went from homeless shelters on the Gold Coast to Brisbane, then back to living with his parents on a short term basis as an emergency option.
The BUSY Group acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to the land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and their Elders past and present.
