"More than 5,000 people from 181 very remote communities, towns and pastoral stations have gained greater access to training in information and communication technology through Future Skilling Outback WA. Regional Development Minister Jon Ford said the program, a joint venture between the State and Commonwealth Governments and private enterprise, had enabled regional communities to benefit from training in the latest information technology regardless of where they lived.“No matter where you live, all Australians should have access to the benefits that information and communications technology can provide and Future Skilling Outback WA is working to turn this into a reality,” Mr Ford said."
