WA State Training System

Training Minister Peter Collier unveiled a $47.4million blueprint that will transform the future of the State’s training system. ‘Training WA: Planning for the future 2009-2018’ outlines a series of targeted initiatives to ensure the skills needs of industry are met and to give individuals greater access to training. Mr Collier said through this plan, the State Government was making an immediate investment to help minimise the impact of the current economic downturn while also reforming the training system for the medium to long term. We need a flexible and innovative training system to position Western Australia for future employment demands, he said.
