The South Australian Government has announced that applications are now open for the next round of Skill Shortage Solutions grants.
The grants are an investment in South Australia’s Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector to skill South Australia’s workforce for today and the future.
They support collaboratively developed and delivered solutions to address current and future skill shortages at industry and/or regional levels.

- Strategic skills solutions to address skill shortages in trade and technician occupations
Examples of projects the grants can be used for include:
