Free Training and Study for Veterans

Veterans and their partners are set to have access to free training to broaden their career opportunities and help transition to civilian life after service, after a landmark Veterans Skills Program was launched.



The Program will allow eligible learners to study any course offered under the Government’s Smart and Skilled program from a Certificate II to Advanced Diplomas, including all apprenticeships and selected trainee-ships.



Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee says Skills NSW is working with employers, industry and veterans groups to provide targeted training to assist veterans into jobs.



He says that with fee-free training, the government can now help even more veterans re-skill in order to take advantage of jobs available in the market including in industries experiencing skills shortages.
