Securing Jobs for Your Future - Skills for Victoria

Victoria's skills system has changed. Securing Jobs for Your Future - Skills for Victoria, the Victorian Government's Skills Statement, is providing $316 million in new funding to create over 170,000 new training places, upgrade TAFE facilities and deliver more flexibility for individuals, employers and training providers.

For individuals, the new skills system offers more places, more opportunities for training throughout your adult life and flexible fee arrangements; for training providers, new opportunities to respond to market demand and contest for funding; and for businesses, assistance with workforce development and a system that's more responsive to your needs.
