Jobs and Skills (WA) Government Funding

Claudia Reiners

 

What is Jobs and Skills (WA)?


The Jobs and Skills program is a government initiative that funds training and qualifications that fit with industry and employer needs. It also subsidises training in non-priority areas, recognising the value that better training and skills bring to society at large.

What does the Jobs and Skills (WA) program provide?


The Jobs and Skills (WA) program gives eligible students the opportunity to access funding for:

  • 150 heavily subsidised courses in priority skill areas
  • A wide range of subsidised training courses in other areas
  • A range of subsidised traineeships

What courses are funded through Jobs and Skills (WA)?


The list of high priority qualifications can be found on the WA Government’s Course list.

You can find more information about subsidised training on the Jobs and Skills website.

Am I eligible for Jobs and Skills (WA) funding?


Jobs and Skills funding is open to you if you:

  • Are an Australian citizen or permanent resident, a New Zealand citizen, the holder of an eligible visa, or a dependent or spouse of a visa holder
  • You live in Western Australia
  • You have left school

If you meet the requirements of everything above, then you may be eligible to enrol in a government-subsidised course.

 

How do I apply for Jobs and Skills (WA) funding?


The first step to applying for the Jobs and Skills (WA) funding is to check your eligibility.

If you are eligible, you can then complete an enrolment form.
