Introducing our Workforce Capability Framework - Created for and with the specialist services sector

Together we have embarked on a journey to both celebrate the strengths and unique qualities of our workforce, as well as explore the nature of the work we do and what this means for the kinds of capabilities we need at all levels of our workforce, now and into the future. 

WorkUP Queensland is excited to be sharing the Workforce Capability Framework, created for and with our specialist services sector. 

With a lens of curiosity, we invite you to be part of this important conversation to introduce, refresh and build awareness of this key workforce resource and the possibilities.  

We will:

• Have a guided walk-through key element of the capability framework. 
• Contextualise and explore how this could help in responding to workforce attraction, recruitment, retention and development needs and challenges.

Before attending we invite you to view the Workforce Capability Framework webpage and series of videos.
