QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the next round of funding under the Productivity Places Program (PPP) for 2011, and I ask -
(1) Is the Minister aware that Registered Training Organisations located in catchment areas, where there are many early school leavers are concerned, that many courses for lower qualifications will not be available under the 2011 PPP?
(2) Is the Minister aware that Job Services Australia agencies who manage these clients are having difficulty placing them into suitable training programs now that the lower qualifications have been restricted under the PPP?
(3) If, as indicated in the last tender under this program, many of the courses will not be available for the lower qualifications, what has the Minister done to ensure young people will be able to undertake some form of training, particularly if there are not enough places available through TAFE?
