2024 Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report

As the peak body for training and workforce development, Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) has a singular focus – nurturing an ongoing pipeline of skilled construction workers for Queensland.

The task is undertaken via a myriad of support programs designed to tackle the ongoing challenge of attracting, developing and retaining talented people in our sector.
Our research and analysis provides insights into the workforce requirements of major projects in each region, and supports targeted workforce plans that provide security and sustainability to project budgets and timeframes.

Because each region and major project is unique, CSQ champions local training solutions to develop a ready supply of skilled workers for every stage of these high-impact bodies of work.

Big projects offer big opportunities and we are working to raise awareness of careers in construction for a whole new cohort of young job seekers.

We continue partnering with industry and schools to promote dynamic careers in construction as we grow our Construction Pathways campaign; helping students and job seekers find their pathway into the industry.
