Fast-Track Apprenticeships


What is Fast Track Apprenticeships?

The Fast-Track Apprenticeships Program provides opportunities for apprentices to achieve their qualifications earlier by becoming competent in a shorter time.

Employers and apprentices will benefit from this initiative as employers will have a more highly skilled workforce, and apprentices will be able to complete their apprenticeships when they are competent, rather than when they have served the time deemed necessary to complete the qualification.

What activities can receive funding?

Activities funded through the Fast-Track Apprenticeship initiative generally relate to Certificate III or IV qualifications that articulate into trades experiencing skill shortages.

The department welcomes all innovative applications, but those addressing areas of skill shortages in a demonstrated industry and/or geographic demand for employment will gain priority. These skill shortages are listed on the National Skills Needs List and the State and Territory Skill Shortage Lists.
