Local Skills Solutions – Outdoor Capability Project

AQIA has partnered with Paramount Adventures to deliver this exciting project.

The Outdoor Capability Project aims to upskill and cross-skill workers in the outdoor recreation industry by addressing skill gaps currently being experienced by outdoor recreation employers including program providers and education and camps sectors.

This project will increase access to subsidised training for existing workers and new entrants in specific outdoor recreation activities e.g. surfing, kayaking, stand up paddling, bushwalking.

Targeting the region between Gold Coast and Bundaberg, 33 people will undertake training in one or more outdoor recreation skills clusters, and 20 people will complete a Certificate III in Outdoor Leadership qualification.

Success Stories

Queensland Moto Park

AQIA delivered a construction project at the Queensland Moto Park located in Coulson (near Boonah). Seven trainees worked hard upgrading the facilities at the Moto Park including the following tasks: painting, building fencing around the café, installing new walls and roof to the mechanic’s workshop, concreting posts and minor carpentry including installing the café’s cold room and putting in palings under the Moto Park’s house to keep out the kangaroos. The trainees also received training in First Aid, Working Safely at Heights and Fork Lift operation. Two trainees found full-time employment during the training– one of them commencing a carpentry apprenticeship which was a fantastic outcome!

Brisbane Strikers Football Club

The Brisbane Strikers Football Club project located in Bowen Hills commenced in October 2020. This project ran for 18 weeks and involved much needed maintenance to the interior and exterior of the club. Fifteen trainees were been involved in various tasks including cleaning, painting and carpentry works around the club. The trainees received support in being kitted out with full Personal Protection Equipment, funded Go Cards to help them get to work and weekly training in the Certificate I in Construction qualification. Later in the project, the trainees received assistance in job search and interview techniques to help them secure longer term employment.
