Short Courses
Are you an existing worker in the building and construction industry looking to learn new and important skills that will help you to further your career in construction?
The Short Courses program could be for you.
This program aims to provide existing workers, industry workers currently out of work or between jobs, and business owners with flexible solutions to update their skills and knowledge, meet licensing, safety and regulatory requirements and adapt to changing job requirements.
The Short Courses program provides funding to assist with upskilling and cross skilling existing workers in the building and construction industry.
Short Courses are individual competencies designed to provide flexible solutions to workers wanting to update their skills and knowledge in specific and targeted areas.
