APPLICATIONS have been reopened for the State Government’s newly extended $4.25 million Digital Jobs program.<\/p>\n

The next tranche of the initiative will provide 1000 free places in industry-endorsed training courses over the next two years for workers to obtain the latest skills in construction and advanced manufacturing sectors.<\/p>\n

Courses will cover computer-aided manufacturing, digital marketing, modern methods of construction, artificial intelligence, data analytics and more.<\/p>\n

To date, the program has supported over 5500 Victorians to move into digital careers and helped upskill more than 500 workers in the manufacturing sector since its initial launch in 2021.<\/p>\n

The training will typically be delivered part time over six weeks, with leadership workshops and on-the-tools training to generally be delivered over one day and in-person.<\/p>\n

To be eligible to apply, businesses must have an operating presence in the Victorian manufacturing and\/or construction sectors and have met all industrial relations obligations as an employer in accordance with the National Employment Standards.<\/p>\n

The business must also be small to medium sized with less than 200 employees and be willing to make their nominated employee\/s available for training in the selected training round.<\/p>\n

“This program is ensuring Victoria’s workforce has the critical digital skills we need in key sectors like construction and advanced manufacturing now and into the future – supporting workers and businesses to keep pace with a rapidly evolving digital landscape,” said Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs Danny Pearson.<\/p>\n
