Skills for Growth: the Workforce Development Program is a Victorian Government initiative dedicated to working with small and medium-sized businesses to help plan for your business future, and identify training opportunities for your employees.
Participating in the Skills for Growth program will lead to increased productivity, business growth and training solutions that meet your business needs. Your business will then have appropriately trained staff to help tackle new challenges and make sure your business can adapt in a highly competitive and evolving market.
The Skills for Growth Program helps to ensure that your business has qualified staff with a focus on growing the business. This is done through a review of your business objectives, skills assessment and training recommendations.
As a Skills for Growth service provider, we have specialists who will help you place staff into the identified training. Specialists will also follow up with visits to your business to review how the business is progressing.
