As part of its Economic Response to COVID-19, the Australian Government is providing free or low-fee training courses across the nation. The Australian Government is partnering with participating state and territory governments to establish the $1 billion JobTrainer Fund.
JobTrainer will fund around 320,000 additional training places that can help you learn skills for jobs in demand. You can choose from a range of accredited diplomas, certificates in different areas including the Building and Construction industry.
The funding is designed for Job Seekers and young people especially school leavers. This means funding is available even if you hold higher qualifications.
TIV has been approved to deliver the subsidised training but with only some of our courses.
TIV’s two courses on this list are:
- CPC40120 – Certificate IV in Building and Construction
- CPC50220 – Diploma of Building and Construction (Building)
Both of these courses are available in various locations throughout Victoria as well as online with our live Virtual Classroom.
Places are limited! Apply now to secure your funding.
