The Victorian Training Guarantee:

Because training is important to your business and the Victorian economy, the Government will contribute on average around 70-90 per cent of the fees for eligible employees under the Victorian Training Guarantee.

This entitles every Victorian who meets the Australian citizen/residency requirements to a subsidised training place in an accredited course. Your employees are eligible if they are

 
  • applying to do a course at a higher level than any qualification they already hold; or

  • under the age of 20 and applying for a course in any qualification; or

  • applying to do a Foundation Skills course (English language, literacy, numeracy and vocational preparation); or

  • applying to do a course as an apprentice (as long as they have registered training contracts).
