The aim is to assist organisations with funding to identify and address emerging issues affecting the training needs of the industry.
Funding may be provided for development of course and assessment resources, where they do not currently exist. The Authority cannot provide funding for the development of resources for individual gain or profit and that are not beneficial for all stakeholders in the industry.
The Authority has budgeted $104,000 for the Research and Development program in 2024 which includes reports from local peak training advisory boards and councils outlining industry feedback provided through the consultation process of the annual Training Plan. The Authority relies on industry stakeholder’s involvement to identify priorities in training programs required by industry and delivered by registered training organisations (RTOs).
