Productivity Places Program – Job Seekers
Overview
The Productivity Places Program – Job Seekers is funded by the Australian Government as part of the Skilling Australia for the future policy. The government is committed to offering training places to meet ever increasing skill shortages across a range of industries.
The program commences as of 1st April 2008 to 30 June 2011, offering a total of 450,000 places over the next 4 years. The program is aimed at a range of target groups, including existing workers, job seekers, apprenticeships and disadvantaged groups. As part of the government’s Skilling Australia for the future policy, approximately 175,000 training places are aimed at participants outside the workforce (job seekers) and apprentices, to participate in a minimum Certificate III qualification.
Participants may undertake a range of other level qualifications from Certificate II level qualifications as part of the program; however, they will be required to meet specific eligibility criteria that is ultimately determined by the Industry Skills Councils (ISC’s).
The program is administered by The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and is only offered
through approved Registered Training Organisations (RTO) who have the capacity to offer eligible courses as part of the program.
