The Palaszczuk Government's Skilling Queensland program would be extended for another three years if Labor is returned to power, in a bid to tackle rising youth unemployment.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk was joined by Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath in Rockhampton to pledge to extend the program — at a cost of $180 million.
The move is aimed at tackling high youth unemployment rates across regional areas.
"Under my Government we allocated $240 million over four years ... one of our signature programs," said Ms Palaszczuk.
"I know this program works because it's right across the state and it's actually giving people the skills they need to get into work."
The State Government says the program has currently helped 11,000 Queenslanders get a job in the current term.
The Premier used her first press conference on day five of the campaign to announce Queensland's exports had reached a new high of $70.9 billion.
Ms Palaszczuk said she was "thrilled" at the news.
"You all know I wanted to see an unemployment rate with a five in it, well let me tell you I had my fingers crossed to see some export data with a $70 billion mark in front of it," she said.
"A big thank you to all of our companies, our small businesses, our agricultural centre, our mining centre who do such an amazing job in Queensland exporting goods to the rest of the world."
