The Incentive offers financial assistance of up to $2,200 (GST inclusive) for jointly funding training, fostering collaboration between individuals and employers in investing in skills development. The Skills Checkpoint for Older Workers Program, part of the initiative, provides advice and guidance to 10,000 eligible older Australians annually, facilitating their transition into new roles within their current industry or guiding them toward new career pathways. The increasing support from governments is anticipated to be a key driver for the corporate training market in the future.
