The NTSSS is an industry-led, multifaceted approach to developing a quality workforce capable of delivering services reflective of the needs of NDIS participants across Queensland. It was developed by WorkAbility Queensland in partnership with the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training.

The project will deliver VET industry advice to the Department that will maximise current and potential opportunities under the VET Investment Plan so it can respond effectively to the skilling needs of the workforce required to support NDIS participants.

Three key priority areas for NTSSS projects are:
• Up-skilling the workforce to transition to the new NDIS framework – through training and professional development activities
• Growing the NDIS workforce – with recruitment based on the values and attributes of the individual, and reflective of the diversity of NDIS participants
• Improving VET quality – with consideration of both workplace learning, skills requirements, and NDIS core principles.

WorkAbility Queensland are also seeking the advice of service providers and individuals in the disability sector to guide implementation, through a short survey.

Every year the best in our state are recognised in the Queensland Training Awards, whether they are students, trainers, employers or apprentices.

Nominations close on 17 March 2019.
