Expressions of Interest are open for Round 4 of the Victorian Skills Solutions Partnerships Program, closing 27 November 2026.
The SSP provides funding for industry and Victorian TAFEs or dual sector universities to work together to design and pilot short training courses that quickly address industry skills gaps in priority sectors of:
- advanced manufacturing and defence
- agribusiness
- circular economy
- health technologies and medical research
- digital technologies.
Successful Expression of Interest applicants and their partners will be invited to participate in a co-design process to strengthen their shared understanding of the training gap, agree on a training solution, and scope a rapid pilot project that could be delivered to test the proposed solution.
Upon successful completion of the co-design process, partnerships will have the opportunity to apply for a grant of up to $500,000 (with funding to be matched by the project partners) to pilot their new training solution.
