"The Carpenter Government will open up the market for apprenticeship funding to the private sector - paving the way for a more competitive, flexible and responsive training system. Announcing the reforms, Education and Training Minister Mark McGowan said the change was part of an ongoing reform agenda to modernise Western Australia’s training system. Mr McGowan said the current system, where the majority of Government funding available for apprenticeship delivery was quarantined for the TAFE sector, would be opened up completely to deliver a more responsive and flexible training system."
