Future of Work Program - Short Courses for Trimester 2 2022

About the Future of Work Program

Building a successful and resilient workforce for the future will play a vital part in Australia’s economic recovery. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic we need to resolve skill shortages in regional areas. This is why BHP and the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment have come together to form the Future of Work Program and promote skills development in regional Australia. This program is designed to prepare people to become the regional workforce of the future. It will create 1,000 skills development opportunities by funding students undertaking short courses and advanced apprenticeships in target regional areas.
