Vouchers offered in Australia for basic education

A US$3,000 voucher is now being offered to unskilled and unemployed people across Australia, to help them gain the education and skills they need to get a job. The “work skills vouchers” can be used for basic education courses, vocational certificate courses or accredited literacy/numeracy courses at Department of Education, Science and Training institutions. The work skills vouchers are part of a five-year, $837 million Federal Government Skills for the Future package designed to improve the skills of Australia’s adult work force.
