Australian Skills Voucher Program - Workstar announced as approved training provider.

Recently announced by the Department of Education, Science and Training, Workstar clients are now able to benefit from the Australian Skills Voucher Program by undertaking Workstar training.

The scheme entitles individuals aged 25 and over access to training if they do not have Year 12 or equivalent, Certificate level II, or higher qualifications. Eligible individuals may then receive a Work Skills Voucher valued at $3,000.

Greg Hall, Executive General Manager at Workstar says, "We are proud to be part of this scheme which ensures all staff are able to access valuable qualifications. Gaining a Certificate II is a great achievement that can lead to further qualifications and career options."

The Australian Skills Voucher will cover the cost of an accredited Certificate II course including course materials. Workstar is actively working with businesses, job networks and apprenticeship centres to ensure their staff and clients benefit from this scheme.

"Workstar employees are equipped to handle the process, with our team taking care of all the necessary administration involved with checking eligibility and applying for the vouchers," adds Mr. Hall. "Our wide scope of courses ensures there are many options available in a range of areas including retail, business, manufacturing, food processing, engineering and hospitality."
