Skills Training

In reply to Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (4 August 2021). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley—Minister for Innovation and Skills): I have been advised:

This strategy led to an increase in apprentices and trainees over 2020.

The $16 million VET Continuity package, which concluded June 2021, supported 92 RTOs contracted by the Department of Innovation and Skills to continue the delivery of training through COVID-19.

This investment enabled RTOs to develop new delivery models, retrain and upskill staff and access new technologies.
