Skills Victoria Corporate

In August 2008 the Victorian Government announced Securing Jobs for Your Future - Skills Victoria, a major reform of the Victorian training system which has contestable, demand driven funding as a central tenet. 

Demand driven funding will be phased in over the next year and a half, commencing from 1 July 2009, for delivery to eligible students (including apprentices and trainees) in AQF levels 5 and above and all eligible students referred to training through Skills for Growth: the Workforce Development Program.

As part of the commitment to ensuring that government subsidised places are available from a wider range of providers, all eligible providers will have access to demand driven funding for eligible students.
