The Transport & Logistics Workforce Advisory Group (TLWAG) Capability Program was born in late 2006 by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) to create sustainable, workable solutions for the industry’s skills and labour shortage in Queensland. The purpose of the Transport and Logistics Workforce Advisory Group (TLWAG) is to support the government and industry in identifying current and future workforce capability challenges. The group also provides advice through Queensland Transport to the Department of Education Training and the Arts on industry priorities for government investment in education and training.
