“Our goal is to build a high-quality training sector on which to grow the economy and ensure that industry has the skills it needs for the jobs of the future,” he said.
“Jobs and Skills Centres will ensure training programs are targeted to meet industry needs and allow people to access training that maximises their opportunities for employment and career development.”
