The Workforce Council is the principal source of advice to government and the community services and health industries, regarding training and education needs and reforms.

The Workforce Council seeks to enhance the quality of life of all Queenslanders through the development and monitoring of training systems that will enhance the skills and capacity of the industries' workforce.

This is achieved through the provision of leadership, information and assistance to relevant stakeholders, using a range of strategies made possible by continuing to:

•  Work collaboratively at local regional and statewide levels:

•  Create alliances, collaboration and connections that enhance our credibility;

•  Be a voice to influence government, industry, work and training policy; and

•  Create opportunities for community skilling through developing the capacity and quality of our workforce

Workforce development embraces a broad range of strategies that are used to ensure effective practice. They may focus on individuals, organizations of systems. It is more than education and training of individual workers as it also addresses the needs to change at organizational and system levels to ensure sustainability.
