JobTrainer promotes free and low-fee courses

Gaining qualifications can help people find rewarding work in a wide range of jobs and industries.

The Australian Government has extended the JobTrainer Fund to offer low and fee-free courses for eligible people from 16 years of age.

JobTrainer is a great way for eligible people to learn new skills, upgrade their skills and expand their job options.

JobTrainer supports free and low-fee courses for jobs in demand in a range of industries like health, aged care and disability support, IT and trades. A range of course types are available, including accredited diplomas, certificates or short courses.

Courses are available to people who are:

• 16+ years of age
• leaving school
• thinking about career options
• looking for work
• employed
• re-entering the workforce
• wanting to upskill or reskill.

With JobTrainer, you can train or study through Registered Training Organisations. You may also be able to access JobTrainer courses as part of an apprenticeship or traineeship. Traineeships are work-based training that allow you to ‘earn while you learn’, combining employment with training courses.

There are courses designed to meet people’s immediate and long-term needs, and flexible study options mean there’s no need to wait.
