Training Priority Projects (TPP) supports innovative approaches to skilling and workforce development to drive productivity and participation improvements through skills for sectors, regions and communities.
Designed to complement existing approaches, TPP enables education providers and community-based organisations to work with regional, sector or industry level partners to address unmet or regionally specific and emerging skilling needs.
TPP are tailored, locally developed responses involving workforce planning, accredited training, non-accredited training and project management to provide relevant services or additional supports for participants.
With its strong emphasis on responding to unmet skills needs, delivering speed to market and connecting to opportunities to develop state-specific training products, TPP will focus on practical solutions to meeting the skill needs of industries and participants across South Australia.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposal prior to applying by calling 1800 673 097 or emailing skills@sa.gov.au
