What is Free training for Year 12 graduates funding?

The Fee Free Training for Year 12 Graduates focuses on high priority qualifications across a range of industries. High priority qualifications provide training in the skills most needed by employers and industry across Queensland.

Students graduating from Year 12 need to enrol and start training in a high priority qualification by the end of the calendar year after finishing Year 12.
