WorkReady

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): Can the Minister for Education and Child Development make it clear to this house whether there will be fewer vocational training positions at the SACE level next year than this year and, if so, what is the quantum difference?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:56): Notwithstanding whether there's been some cuts from the federal level, which may in fact have had an impact, my understanding of the way in which WorkReady affects these students is that there will remain the offering of courses that are fully subsidised in the high public value category for those students who wish to undertake them.
