Northern Metropolitan Region Learn Local providers

In reply to  Mr ELASMAR (Northern Metropolitan) (12 September 2019)

Ms TIERNEY (Western Victoria—Minister for Training and Skills, Minister for Higher Education):

Firstly, I’d like to thank Mr Elasmar for his adjournment matter and his ongoing support for the Adult and Community Education sector in his electorate.

Through the Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board, the Andrews Labor Government provides grants to Learn Local providers under the Capacity and Innovation Fund. The Capacity and Innovation Fund provides opportunities for Learn Local providers to develop and implement projects designed to increase participation and attainment in pre-accredited training programs and meet learner needs.

The latest round of the Capacity and Innovation Fund provided grants to Learn Local providers for 60 projects across the state, based on Regional Council areas. Within the North Western Regional Council area, 15 projects were funded in the latest round, totalling $688,944.

A list of all Capacity and Innovation Fund projects is available on the Department of Education and Training website which can be accessed via the website below.
