RESQ+

In 2013, RAPAD and Employment Services Queensland were successful in their bid to deliver the Federal government’s Remote Job and Communities Program in Central Western Queensland. RAPAD recognised that the RJCP as it was then called, had huge potential to influence and enhance the employment prospects of those seeking work in the region.

Using RAPAD’s experience in providing training, skilling and employment-related programs and Employment Services Queensland’s knowledge of employment services, RAPAD Employment Services Queensland became the vehicle through which the contract was delivered in the Central West.
