Growing and upskilling the Early Childhood Education and Care sector will occur through the Early Years Workforce Development Fund. The fund will provide scholarships, settling incentives and retention incentives to encourage staff to relocate to regional locations.

Tasmania’s first purpose-built Earth Works Training Site will be built at Quercus Park. This will be an open work site, delivering real life training in a safe, controlled and authentic industry setting.  It will provide faster, safer and more efficient training for plant and machinery operators as well as a wide range of other jobs, including truck drivers and road traffic controllers, and those working in safety roles, pipe laying and other industry-specific areas with training needs.

A new industry training facility will be built on the North West Coast.

The facility will have a dedicated focus on developing Renewable Energy skills to support students into renewable energy career pathways and will be delivered by industry in partnership with the Tasmanian Government.
