Update on the RTO Sector

Christmas is only a few weeks away, and 2020 is ending. We all hope for a better 2021. Here are two quick updates for training providers.

ASQA’s email response to a recent application for RTO registration informed that they are experiencing an unforeseen spike in initial registration applications.

This indicates positive industry confidence and economic recovery.

More businesses are seeking to enter the training market. If you are considering starting a new RTO or intending to change the scope of an existing registration, now is an excellent time to begin the application process.

Next, the local recovery fund established under the federal budget’s Local Jobs Program is now accepting applications to release funds.

There are 25 regions nationwide, and you can submit your project to your area if it meets the priorities of the local job plan.

To access funding under this program, your project must focus on better skilling local job seekers, creating employment opportunities, and meeting local employer demands.

You can apply via AusTender.
