New Tasmanian Program To Break Down Barriers

Tasmanians experiencing barriers to post compulsory education and employment will benefit from a $440,000 statewide program run by Skills Tasmania. Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, Heather Butler, said today that community groups and registered training organisations which provide services targeted at individuals from various groups such as Aboriginal people, people with a disability, women, older people, migrants and refugees were encouraged to apply for small grants of up to $20,000 under the Equity Support Program.
