Scope

The Skills NT grant funding can be provided for:

• Skilling delivery
• Skilling support, or
• a combination of the two.

Skilling delivery funds

The Skilling Delivery funds are designed to support VET programs that equip students with the skills and knowledge required for employment through nationally recognised training or accredited courses.

It also aims to address skill gaps by focusing on equity groups, strengthening skilling pathways, supporting workforce development for high-demand industries and occupations, promoting innovative approaches to apprenticeship and traineeship delivery, and enhancing opportunities for Aboriginal Territorians, particularly for those who live in regional and remote areas.

Skilling support funds

The Skilling support funds are designed to provide for specific activities that support the delivery of VET and increase the number of participants completing nationally recognised training. Skilling support funds may include, but are not limited to:

• mentoring to complement the delivery of nationally recognised training or accredited courses
• non-accredited training, such as industry-specific skills development or foundational skills support
• reasonable administration costs that contribute to the success of VET delivery, excluding standard training expenses.

Skilling support funding must accompany delivery of nationally recognised training or accredited courses.
