The 2021 federal budget includes a suite of measures designed to address workplace shortages, boost skills levels and get more people back into work.
As foreshadowed in pre-budget reports, the government is extending the JobTrainer fund, which provides access to affordable training courses for young people.
The budget provides for an additional $506.3 million over two years, to be matched by contributions from the states and territories.
The government expects the extension to provide approximately 163,000 extra low-fee and free training places, including 33,800 places in aged care and 10,000 places in digital skills courses.
