Funding available to SMEs for training in sustainability skills
An exciting opportunity exists for small- to medium-sized manufacturing enterprises to upskill existing workers in skills for sustainability, with funding support from the Australian Government’s Workforce Innovation Program.

MSA will work with enterprises to identify specific upskilling needs for skills for sustainability; develop training plans and arrange for training delivery by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Workers will receive nationally accredited training in selected units of competency that address sustainability skills needs.

Minimum eligibility requirements are as follows:
  • the enterprise must be either small (employing less than 20 people) or medium (employing 20 or more, but less than 200 people)
  • existing workers who receive the training must hold an accredited Australian vocational qualification
  • employer to contribute an upfront payment of 25% of the upskilling training costs per existing worker (a 25% share is estimated to be $375 per worker)

    If you would like to take advantage of this unique opportunity, contact MSA’s Workforce Development Manager, Nick Juniper on 02 9955 5500 or 0419 472 106.
