Subscriber only A new training hub is set to open its doors in Maryborough, helping senior secondary students develop relevant skills and find employment without having to leave the region. Busy At Work has been awarded the contract for the Maryborough hub, which is one of 10 training hubs being trialled across Australia as part of a $50.6 million investment by the Federal Government to improve opportunities for Year 11 and 12 students in regions with high youth unemployment. The premises that will house the training hub in Maryborough is yet to be decided. Wide Bay MP Llew O Brien said the industry training hub would be managed by a full-time career facilitator who would introduce school students to opportunities in local industries, and would service the Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Gympie, Bundaberg and Burnett regions.
