What is the Training Needs List?
The Training Needs List reports the courses and skill sets subsidised by the Victorian Government under Skills First. It includes programs that:
- align with industry needs and workforce demands
- have strong job outcomes, such as apprenticeships
- meet social needs, such as foundation skill courses
- represent government priorities, including residential housing construction, completing Victoria’s infrastructure projects, and clean energy.
You can find subsidy rates in the Funded Programs Report via the Skills Victoria Training System.
