Looking for work? Need a qualification?   Opportunities are available for free training through YWCA NSW and the Productivity Places Program

What is the Productivity Places Program?

The Productivity Places Program is an Australian Government initiative designed to help you get a job in areas where employers are currently looking for workers.  It involves working with Registered Training Organisations who can give you training in these identified areas at no cost. The Program pays the cost of getting a nationally recognised qualification. 

Who is eligible?

To be eligible for a funded training place, you need to be currently looking for work. You also need to be an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia and be over the age of 15.  Full-time students and people who are self employed are not eligible for the program. Some other eligibility criteria apply.
