QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the document, ‘Skilling WA - A workforce development plan for Western Australia’, and the short term priority action 1.2.1, Training Funding - The Department of Training and Workforce Development, will give priority to the packaging of funding streams and programs (including partnerships) for the engagement and training of those groups under-represented in the workforce, and I ask -
(1) What are the funding streams that will be packaged?
(2) How will these funding streams be packaged?
(3) Have these funding streams already been budgeted for?
(4) If no to (3), how will they be funded?
(5) What are the programs that will be given priority?
(6) What are the organisations that will be in partnership for these programs?
(7) When will the packaging of funding streams and programs occur?
