Industry training operational policy
Industry training funded through the Industry Training Fund must be undertaken in line with our operational policies. These policies were created in 2000 and last updated in 2006.
In the first half of 2009, we carried out a review of these policies. They are now at a stage where consultation with the sector is needed to make sure they fit the purpose of industry training, and that they align to industries’ current and future direction.
