Funded Training

Vocational Training Services is able to offer individuals and employers a wide range of funded courses under the Jobs & Skills WA initiative; a WA State Government initiative that prioritises its investment in training to focus on courses that equip people to take up jobs that are, or will be, in high demand.

Jobs & Skills WA provides subsidised training for eligible students enrolling in specific courses deemed to be a State priority qualification. Apprenticeships and traineeships are a priority, and many other important industry qualifications are also subsidised as are general industry training courses, leadership foundation skills and equity courses.
