Australian Apprenticeships

Australian Apprenticeships are a stepping stone to ongoing employment, further education and training, and a great way to get a start in the career you want.

Special Project Funding

In support of the ACT building and construction industry, the Training Fund Authority sometimes funds special projects. Funding is provided from one of 3 programs. Proposed projects must meet the goals of the program from which funding is being sought.

• Promotion, Marketing and Sponsorship Aims to promote the industry in a positive way to the general public by increasing awareness of the achievements of the industry; and by supporting organisations within the industry that promote 'best practice'.
• Access and Equity Seeks to address the needs of identified groups and people with special needs within the industry. This includes people requiring literacy and numeracy training, women in non-traditional vocations, Indigenous Australians, people who are unemployed, have a disability or are from a non-English-speaking background, or who are returning to the workforce after injury.
• Research and Development Aims to assist organisations to identify and address emerging issues affecting the training needs of the industry. Funding is given for development of course and assessment resources where they do not currently exist. Ensures the involvement of local industry in the development of the Training Plan and establishes consultative mechanisms sympathetic to and consistent with national development

You should submit your funding request on the special projects application, which can be found in the Application forms section.
