Your business may be eligible for funding and assistance that support skills and training.
WorkReady Qualifications
Whether you’re looking to upskill existing workers and create new jobs or recruiting to fill vacant or new positions, WorkReady Qualifications can assist.
WorkReady Qualifications enables you to work in partnership with the Department of State Development and a non-TAFE WorkReady provider to develop a project to address your labour need. Our streamlined submission-based approach makes it easy for eligible providers to apply to deliver the qualifications you need.
