Targeted Training and Apprenticeships Fund (TTAF)

The Government is funding free training in critical industries to help get the economy moving post-lockdown. The training is free for everyone enrolling in key programmes – for all ages and circumstances – until the end of 2022.

  • Primary industries, including agriculture, horticulture and viticulture, fisheries (including aquaculture) and forestry;
  • Construction, including building, plumbing, and civil engineering;
  • Community support, including youth work, care for elderly, counselling and community health, including mental health and addiction support;
