Canopy 

Canopy is Queensland’s forest and timber industry training and careers hub for promoting and growing a sustainable workforce which is managed and delivered by Timber Queensland.

​

Canopy’s projects and programs respond to the increasing demand for forest and timber products and the need to secure a strong, state-wide workforce to grow, make and supply Queensland’s everyday needs. Partnering with local and national industry employers, training service providers, schools, Workforce Australia employment agencies and community groups, Canopy strives to effect systemic change in the industry by designing, funding, and facilitating training and career education programs across Queensland to meet industry workforce needs via school leavers, the unemployed and existing workers looking to upskill and retrain.

Canopy provides services to the full industry supply chain across the three major sectors - Forest Operations, Harvest & Haulage, Sawmilling & Processing, serving the region with a range of programs that have included:

​

• Jobs Board

• Job Expos & Career Nights

• ForestSkills Program

• Grow, Harvest & Process Industry School Tours & Work Experience Program

• Master Tree Growers Program

• Cutting Edge Program

​​

To date, Canopy has successfully led several programs and partnerships with students, job seekers, employers and industry bodies, including the popular school tours program allowing primary and secondary students to visit working forest and timber operations for a first-hand understanding of opportunities that exist within the industry, and a similar tour strategy for jobseekers that has successfully delivered industry placements.
