Given that the new extended retail trading hours will mean that more trained staff will be needed, I ask -
(1) How many places were funded under the Productivity Places Program (PPP) in Certificate II, Certificate III and Certificate IV in Retail?
(2) As Certificates II, III and IV in Retail were given the lowest priority rating of 5 in the last round of funding under the PPP, and are unlikely to be funded under the 2011 PPP, what arrangements have been made, if any, to accommodate the increased need for skilled workers in the retail sector?

(1)   In 2009, a total of 724 training places in Certificates II, III and IV in Retail were funded under the Productivity Places Program (PPP) and delivered by private training providers.  Data for 2010 is not yet available.
(2)   The PPP is not the only source of funding for training in the retail sector.
The State Government will continue to fund retail traineeships under user choice arrangements through private training providers and State Training Providers.  The number of traineeships available is dependent on employer demand.  In addition, the State Government will continue to fund other institutional retail training through private training providers and State Training Providers.
