Rapid Response
The Tasmanian Government’s Department of State Growth (Skills Tasmania) Rapid Response Skills Initiative provides up to $3000 towards the cost of training for people who have lost their jobs because they have been made redundant, the place they worked has closed, or the employer had to let staff go.
To assist individuals in making the most of their training fund $500 of that $3,000 is available for endorsed career development professionals to provide career advice about employment and training options. It’s an innovative program that has been recognised and awarded by the Career Development Association of Australia. Career Athlete is currently engaged in this project with Christian Ellston (Managing Director) delivering the career advice component of the program since 2014. |
