Skilling South Australia funding has a clear purpose – to increase apprenticeships and traineeships, leading to lasting careers, and to grow a skilled workforce in preparation for increasing economic opportunity coming from growth industries, such as defence, digital, cyber security and health.

To ensure South Australians are ready for the jobs that will flow from these industries, this funding initiative by the Government of South Australian will pay part of a student's fees to help them gain a Nationally Recognised Qualification. These qualifications better aligns training with industry needs, and will give students the foundation for real careers.

This means there will be more opportunities for eligible South Australians to earn while they learn and develop new skills by studying qualifications through a traineeship.
