Welcome to the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program

The Trade Training Centres in Schools Program (the Program) is providing $2.5 billion over 10 years from 2008 to enable secondary schools to seek funding for Trade Training Centres (TTC).

The Program allows secondary students from years 9 – 12 to access vocational education and training through TTCs to give them a broader range of options so as to improve Year 12 retention rates and enhance pathways into vocational careers. TTCs are also helping to address national skills shortages in traditional trades and emerging industries.

Under the Program, funds are available for major capital works, upgrade of existing facilities and industry standard equipment.
