Applications for the 2017 round of the Expanding Career Options for Women training scholarship program are now open.
The program promises up to 400, $3000 scholarships over four years will be given to women to undertake training at Certificate II level or higher in over 180 eligible qualifications.
The Liberal National Government program encourages young women to go into trade and industry areas with low female participation.
One-off scholarships of up to $3000 are also available.
Deputy Premier and Training and Workforce Development and Women's Interests Minister Liza Harvey said the program provides numerous roles for women going into the workforce.
"Scholarships are available to help women gain employment or broaden their career options in a wide variety of industry areas and trades where they make up less than 25 per cent of the total workforce," she said.
"For the first time, students completing Year 12 in 2016 are also encouraged to apply.
“This will give them an opportunity to get a start on their career as soon as they complete high school."
Mrs Harvey said more than 200 scholarship places have been offered in areas including engineering, building and construction and work health and safety.
"The program can open the door to a range of new career opportunities for women," she said.
"It gives women a chance to gain valuable skills in an area they may not have considered before and can lead to a long and rewarding career."
Applications for the 2017 round close on October 31, 2016.
