The Western Australia Government offers a range of course at reduced fees under the Lower fees, local skills initiative.
Jobs and Skills WA provides a subsidised training place for eligible students enrolled in courses that are deemed State priority qualifications, where a training place is available.
Types of Funding:
a. PARTICIPATION WORK READINESS (PWR)- Jobseeker
The Participation Program focuses on the delivery of training for those sections of the population that are under-represented in the workforce and face barriers to mainstream training arrangements.
b. PRIORITY INDUSTRY TRAINING (PIT) – Existing Worker
This program focuses on making available a range of qualifications that address priority industry needs of the State through a non employment-based training pathway.
This program has two target groups, jobseekers and existing workers. The qualifications offered may be delivered in any region throughout WA for both target groups.
