"Western Australians will reap the benefits of a new streamlined training system thanks to legislation passed by Parliament this week. Training Minister Peter Collier said the passing of the amendment bill for the Vocational Education and Training Act 1996 was a major step forward in the process to revolutionise the State’s training system. “The passing of the legislation represents a major milestone in further building a robust and flexible training system and provides clear direction for the future of vocational training in this State,” Mr Collier said.
“This will deliver a modern, streamlined training system which will better equip training providers and industry to meet the challenges facing the sector. The new legislation is also expected to be a catalyst to encourage more employers to hire apprentices and trainees.”
