Two programs offer subsidised training for businesses.
Productivity places program
The
Productivity places program (PPP) provides up to 90% of funding for small businesses to train their workers. Your business provides the remaining 10%.
PPP is part of the Australian Government’s Skilling Australia for the Future initiative. The program provides additional training opportunities to assist Australian workers and job seekers to develop the skills they need to be effective participants and contributors to the modern workforce.
The training places are delivered in response to skills and occupations demand identified by industry.
The program is administered by the South Australian Government through the Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology (DFEEST).
