VICTORIAN GRANTS FOR ACE

Victoria's adult learners will soon be using new, modern equipment, thanks to a $2 million Brumby Government grant announced today. Skills and Workforce Participation Minister Jacinta Allan said community learning centres across the State will receive more than 1000 grants to make learning easier. "The Brumby Government is taking action to create more jobs and provide more opportunities for Victorians to improve their skills and undertake new training," Ms Allan said. "The grants will help Victoria's Adult and Community Education (ACE) providers purchase new equipment to make learning easier and increase opportunities for adult education, and improve access for adult learners with special needs," she said. With more than 330 adult learning providers across the State, the Brumby Government continues to ensure Victorians have access to high quality education.
