LAST QUARTER IN REVIEW

It’s only when we look back that we realise just how much has happened. Some highlights:

• Completing 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: 𝗩𝗥 & 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱, with the final showcase at Queensland Museum Cobb+Co as part of the World Science Festival Queensland.

• Leading the successful Australian Skills Quality Authority reaccreditation of the Certificate IV in I𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 for the Centre for Indigenous Training / Jabree.

• Commencing cleaning 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆 eLearning modules with Ability Enterprises, supporting practical workplace English for culturally and linguistically diverse workers.

• Sharing some of our experiences at the Goondiwindi Chamber of Commerce Connect and Thrive: Success Stories in our Region event.

• Celebrating the first intake at The Apiary, after Concinnity help secure the funding and guide the program development.

• Continuing learning and resource development with Bigambul, bringing together cultural knowledge and contemporary learning design.

• Developing digital migrant settlement and employment resources for Workforce Australia Local Jobs - Wide Bay & Sunshine Coast and ongoing projects with Local Jobs Program - Darling Downs

• Supporting Business Chamber of Queensland - International Trade and Investment team through the successful audit of its Free Trade Agreement eLearning modules and JASANZ compliance audit.

• Bringing Brains, Boots & Beyond VR to life with Western Clydesdales RLFC and University of Southern Queensland - Australia, leading the project from the original idea through partnerships, development and delivery at National Science Week.

Different projects, industries and challenges, but a common thread: learning strategy, innovation, partnerships and turning ideas into practical solutions that make a difference.

And on a personal note, the biggest highlight of all was welcoming a new grandson into the fold. A pretty special few months all round.

Concinnity is proud to be delivering Same Sky: Many Paths for the Toowoomba International Multicultural Society (TIMS).

Under the guidance of the TIMS Management Committee and its members, this project has been designed particularly for people who may not normally be able to access employment and mentoring support.

Many migrants come to Toowoomba ready to work, contribute to our economy and become active members of our community – yet navigating qualifications, job applications, workplace expectations and professional networks in a new country isn't always easy.

Sometimes people don't need to be told what they can't access. They just need some help finding the right pathway.

That's what Same Sky: Many Paths is about.

If you have the right to work in Australia but have struggled to find the right support, have a chat with us. And if you know someone who might benefit, please share the TIMS post with them.

We are taking enquiries now.

Are you a migrant who wants to find work in Toowoomba?

- Have you been knocked back by job services?
- Been told you're not eligible for mentoring or employment support?
- Need help understanding your options?
- Want to build your networks and connections?

𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝘆: 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 is a new TIMS program designed to help migrants navigate the pathway to work in Australia.

𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝘼𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩, 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙪𝙨. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚.

Think this program isn't for you? Think again.

We may be able to support:

- People transitioning from student visas
- Partners of skilled migrants who want to enter or return to the workforce
- Young adults transitioning from school or study into work
- Migrants with overseas skills, experience or qualifications who aren't sure what their next step should be

The 8-week program includes weekly group sessions, individual mentoring, practical employment support and connections with employers and the wider Toowoomba community.

Get help with resumes, job applications, career pathways, qualification options, workplace culture, English for work and building your professional networks.

Not sure if you're eligible? Drop in on a Thursday and have a chat with us.

You might be surprised by the support available.

The learning journey starts from day one.

Onboarding isn’t just a process to get people set up. Iit’s the first (and one of the most important) parts of your learning ecosystem. It sets the tone for how your people learn, engage, and perform moving forward.

In today’s fast-paced environment of hybrid teams, compliance demands, and ongoing skills shortages, traditional onboarding just doesn’t cut it anymore.

That’s why more Australian businesses are turning to e-Inductions—a smarter, scalable solution that delivers consistent training, saves time, and sets new hires up for success from day one.

✅ Automate repetitive HR tasks
✅ Deliver clear, consistent messaging
✅ Meet compliance and audit requirements
✅ Support CALD and remote workers
✅ Improve engagement, retention, and readiness

Whether you're onboarding five people or five hundred, e-Inductions let you grow with confidence—without growing your admin burden.

Learn why e-Inductions are a strategic advantage, not just a digital checklist:

Another reason why we love custom eLearning courses…

They’re not just for internal training. They are a practical way to capture and share your expertise. Most organisations are sitting on valuable knowledge. The way you work, what you’ve learned over time, the insights your team brings.

Custom eLearning helps turn that into something structured, reusable, and easy to share. Internally, it supports your team. But it can also extend beyond that.

We’ve worked with clients to package their expertise into online courses. Creating something they can share more broadly, and generate an additional income stream or add value to their clients/ members.

• Train clients and partners
• Share industry knowledge
• Support community or sector learning
• Create an additional revenue stream

eLearning modules can play a really useful role in bringing some structure and consistency to how learning happens across a team.

We tend to think of them less as “courses” and more as a way to capture and share how things are actually done in your organisation.

When they’re designed well, they reflect your context, your processes, your expectations, and the situations your people deal with day to day.

That might include things like short videos, real examples, walkthroughs of systems, or simple scenarios that mirror real work.

They can also be aligned to what matters for your business, for example:

• Building confidence in sales or client conversations
• Supporting consistent customer service
• Reducing errors in systems and processes
• Reinforcing compliance requirements
• Helping new starters get up to speed

With it, there’s a more consistent base to build from. Something people can return to, and something that connects with other learning happening on the job.

Do you have a learning library for your employees (digital or paper-based), if so, it’s probably worth taking a closer look at it.

Courses get added. Documents get saved. Versions get updated… and then updated again. Priorities shift… and before you know it, parts of it aren’t being used, contain outdated references, or no longer align with how your people actually work. It happens gradually, but the impact adds up.

When someone opens a module, a folder, or even a printed guide that’s outdated or doesn’t quite hit the mark, it chips away at trust. They’re less likely to rely on it next time or engage in training. Over time, it can also make your L&D function look less credible than it really is.

And more than that, it sends a subtle message about how much learning is valued, and how much you’re investing in your people.

We see this a lot.

A simple review can make a big difference. What’s still useful? What needs a refresh? What can be retired altogether?

It doesn’t have to be a big overhaul. Just bringing things back into alignment with how your people actually learn and work now. That’s something we support as part of our Learning & Development work. Helping teams make their learning libraries clearer, more relevant, and actually used.

18/05/2026

A learning library is just one part of your learning ecosystem but it is a critical one.

At its core, your learning library is where your content lives: Courses, Guides, Resources, Templates, Knowledge assets. It’s the “go-to” place for learning. But on its own, it’s not enough.

Without that connection, even the best content can sit unused. And if you don’t have a clear, accessible learning library at all - how are your employees finding what they need? How are you supporting consistency, growth, and professional development across your team?

It’s often one of the simplest ways to show that learning and your people genuinely matter.
