The Queensland Government has today unveiled a refreshed Board of Jobs Queensland.
Continuing Board member, Dr Michael Drew, has been appointed as the new Chair of the Jobs Queensland Board. Dr Drew, a financial economist, is the co-founder of Drew, Walk and Co, an Adjunct Professor at Griffith University, and Chair of Volunteering Australia.
Deirdre von Guilleaume, a retired school principal with extensive experience in leadership, mentoring, coordination, and government, will join the Jobs Queensland Board in 2025.
Danielle Carey, Heidi Cooper, Bernie Hogan, Kate Venables, and Trent Young will continue their service as Jobs Queensland Board members through their respective four-year terms.
Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment, and Training, Ros Bates (pictured, left, with Ms Guilleaume) emphasised the Board’s role in driving Queensland’s future workforce planning and decision-making.
“With renewed purpose and fresh perspectives, we’re excited to welcome Dr Drew’s leadership and Ms Guilleaume’s real-world experience to the Jobs Queensland Board,” Minister Bates said.
“Together with our continuing Board members, they will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Queensland’s skilled workforce.”
Minister Bates also thanked outgoing Board members for their contributions to Jobs Queensland’s extensive program of work.
“A Board that embraces change and adapts to the evolving jobs landscape will ensure Jobs Queensland remains well-positioned to provide industry-led, future-focused advice for the benefit of workforces across the State,” she said.
