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.
