$4,000 of Government Training incentives per eligible employee Print E-mail

Only a small proportion of organisations realise they qualify for Government funded training incentives. Now you don’t have to pay for all your training.

The Government understands the nation’s competitive advantage is based on human capital, so a portion of government revenue is given back in training incentives. This covers up to 100% of training undertaken with funds of up to $4,000 per qualifying employee.
