What are the benefits of industry training?

• Industry skill development and workplace learning are highly cost effective; for employers, for workers and for the country:
• for employers: government provides support for industry skill development that is relevant to the needs of firms and industry, and that leads to qualifications and standards set by industry.
• for workers and learners: workplace learning enables you to develop your skills and career in meaningful and productive ways. Learning while you work means you don't have to borrow in order to study, and you can continue to earn an income while you learn.
• for the country: employers and government share the cost, so industry skill development not only means we are addressing skill shortages, but it is a good use of taxpayer dollars.
