Training—Wage subsidy program
272. Hon Tjorn Sibma to
the Leader of the House representing the Minister
for Skills and TAFE:
I refer to the minister's
1 May media statement, "Cook Labor Government delivers $216m TAFE and
training boost".
(1) What proportion of the $19.6 million
to support an additional 330 places in the Group Training Organistion wage
subsidy program is new money?
(2) Are these genuinely 330 new places or
does this figure include the 225 places funded in last year's budget?
(3) Do the 330 new places include or
exclude adult apprentices?
