Over the next four years, the $16.1 million Energising Tasmania Training Fund aims to deliver up to 2,500 fully subsidised training places in areas of identified skills need and will provide up to $1,000 per learner to assist with non-tuition costs such as training materials.

Training is expected to be provided in areas such as leadership and project management, engineering, civil construction, electrical generation and power systems to ensure Tasmania has the workforce available to build and maintain pumped hydro to support and realise our renewable energy opportunities

Over $1.4 million will be available in the first round of grants.

The grant round is now open and closes on 30 June 2020 (or until grant funds are fully allocated).
