Federal and State funding for traineeships requires another look Richard. Over the last 3 years the amount of funding available, and the hurdles to jump to obtain it, have been altered making the bar so much higher, particularly in Retail which is considered a low priority industry for training. Additionally, stronger links between Industry/Commerce and Secondary Education must be maintained. In a town which is dominated by primary industry, traineeships will necessarily be thin on the ground as many of the workers will be required in secondary and tertiary industry/commerce. Additionally, in an environment of rising wages ABOVE the CPI (in fact double the CPI for two years now) and a small jobs market, two matters need addressing. The cost of training via subsidies and the nexus between industry and education.
