Free tradie training for mature age Australians
The federal government has announced free qualifications for 6,000 mature age Australians to retrain as tradies through the Advanced Entry Trades Training Program. The initiative addresses a chronic labour shortage in the construction industry by fast-tracking workers with existing skills but no formal qualifications. Modelled on a New South Wales scheme with 1,900 enrolled students, the program allows experienced workers to complete certifications in as little as three months instead of 12 to 18 months.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
