What is an Industry Workforce Advisor?

The aim of the Industry Workforce Advisor program is to provide workforce planning assistance to small to medium employers enabling them to address workforce challenges, diversify their workforces, and support workforce growth.
Maximising workforce participation enables employers to draw on a larger talent pool, ensuring all Queenslanders have access to employment opportunities, particularly people who have previously been underrepresented in the workplace.

CheckUP’s Industry Workforce Advisors will work directly with employers to:

  • Create an individual workforce plan which identifies and addresses workforce challenges
  • Access funded HR support/solutions for their business
  • Diversify and support workforce growth
  • Assist in developing recruitment strategies
  • Access accredited and non-accredited industry training
  • Develop plans to assist with workforce attraction and retention
  • Connect with relevant programs and funding, industry-based initiatives and grant funding, and Australian Government wage subsidies and employer incentives.
