Securing Jobs for Your Future – Skills for Victoria delivers Skills for Life – the Victorian Training Guarantee, a ground-breaking initiative that will bring government subsidised training within the reach of thousands more people.

The Victorian Training Guarantee is an entitlement to a government subsidised place in recognised training that can be accessed at any time and it will continue to be available for training at successively higher levels.

While a person keeps moving up the qualification scale, the Victorian Training Guarantee will continue to subsidise their training.

For every eligible person seeking to undertake accredited training, and where industry can generate demand for training from eligible people, the Victorian Government will provide funding to support that training.

Eligibility
Eligibility for access to government subsidised places will depend on certain factors such as age and prior educational history. There will also continue to be a citizenship/residency aspect to eligibility, as in the current system. This allows government funding to be focused on the Victorian workforce and the areas of greatest need.
