The State Government has committed over $1 million to support Reclink Australia's efforts in Logan

Reclink Australia, which previously had a partnership with local rugby club Mustangs BRLFC and has now moved in to a new home at Yarrabilba has received $1,036,200 for its Linking Employment Pathways Logan project.

The money is part of a larger $41.1 million spend on the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative, and Minister for Training and Skills Development Di Farmer said the money would help 1486 across the region.

"The 39 funded projects in Logan, the Redlands and the Gold Coast will deliver tailored support for local unemployed and underemployed people, to prepare them for new opportunities with businesses in key sectors for the local economy," she said.

"Skilling Queenslanders for Work has assisted more than 43,500 people to gain employment and it is exciting to see how these newest projects will push that number to keep growing."

Luci Davey, Manager of Participant Pathways at Reclink Australia, said the grant was well-received by the not-for-profit.

"We're really happy with the result of the recent tender," Mrs Davey said.

"That's money that will go directly into the Logan area and support disadvantaged job seekers."

Mrs Davey said the funding would support 44 local job seekers as they underwent a paid traineeship in either construction or conservation and ecosystem management.

"A large amount of the money goes towards the trainees' wages," she said.

"We offer a 20-week employment training program which really simulates a workplace environment.

"Participants don't just develop their skills but establish a working routine, which is very important for long-term job seekers getting back to work."

During their time at Reclink, participants undertake formal training and assessment with a Registered Training Organisation, giving them a nationally-recognised qualification.

Participants are also given tailored support to help them overcome any educational or employment barriers they may face.

The Reclink representative said the programs the organisation had been running for several years had "proven their worth".

"We're really grateful to the Queensland Government," Mrs Davey said.

"We've run programs in the Logan area for several years and they've really proven their worth.

"During that time trainees have achieved over 70 per cent employment outcomes after participating in a program with Reclink."

The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training says around 76 per cent of participants find work or undertake further training around 12 months after completing a Skilling Queenslanders for Work program.

Other projects funded in this round include those run by YFS and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander not-for-profit Gunya Meta.
