Delivering higher paid, higher skilled jobs for Victorians is the driving force behind the Brumby Labor Government’s $94 million skills and employment package unveiled today in the 2008-09 State Budget. Skills and Workforce Participation Minister Jacinta Allan said the initiatives focused on upgrading regional TAFEs, boosting apprenticeship completion rates, improving employment opportunities for the disadvantaged and driving new skills in the transport sector. “The Brumby Labor Government is taking action to secure jobs in communities across the State, and investing in the skills of Victorians is key part of our jobs strategy,” Ms Allan said. “Victorians deserve a training system with world-class facilities that gives them the training they need for the high-skill, high-wage jobs available in our strong economy.”
