Australian Apprenticeships Incentives Maintained
A spokesperson from the
Australian Government’s Department of Education, Employment and Workplace
Relations confirmed on 7 May 2008 that the Government is committed to
maintaining Australian Apprenticeships incentives, including the assistance
provided to agricultural and horticultural Australian Apprentices under the
Tools For Your Trade and Apprenticeship Training (Fee) Voucher programs.
Consistent with that commitment, Australian Apprentices undertaking
a certificate II, III and IV qualification in agriculture or, if in a rural or
regional area, horticulture will remain eligible from 1 July 2007 for an $800
tool kit and up to $1000 to cover course fees associated with their
apprenticeship training in the first and second year.
Agricultural and horticultural apprentices will still be eligible to attract the
same standard incentives that they were previously eligible for through
the Australian Apprenticeships Incentive Program.
