Training for the majority of jobs involved in the construction, activation, operation and maintenance of the nbn™ broadband access network is within the vocational education and training (VET) sector. The VET sector receives most of its funding from Federal and State governments.
nbn is working to reduce or eliminate “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by individuals and their employers in undertaking nbn approved technical skills training via an nbn training subsidy.
After all VET funding has been received, individuals who are employed by an nbn™ Delivery Partner or subcontractor and who undergo technical skills training at an approved training provider may be eligible for an nbn subsidy.
How does it work?
To be eligible for nbn technical skills training subsidies, individuals must be employed by an nbn™ Delivery Partner or subcontractor*. Please find below a summary view of how this works.
