Productivity Places Program
The Productivity Places Program began in April 2008, replacing the Work Skills Voucher program.

Free Courses are available under the Australian government funded Productivity Places Program. The aim of this project is to provide training opportunities for job seekers and to reduce Australia’s work skills shortage with training courses that update your skills.
The Federal Government will cover the entire cost of tuition and resources for you to complete a course.

As part of its Skilling Australia for the Future initiative, the government recognises the importance of nationally endorsed training in assisting job seekers to acquire skills and gain lasting employment. Improvements in basic skills will help people who are already in employment to move into higher level positions and assist those who are looking for work to find a job.
