Budget 2011 will provide up to $42 million for trades training for Canterbury, to ensure that Cantabrians can build their skills and contribute to the rebuild of their city.
This investment will fund up to 1500 extra training places as part of a cross-agency response to meet labour demands for the reconstruction programme called ‘Skills for Canterbury’.
The ‘Skills for Canterbury’ package also includes up to 3000 more places in polytechs for construction-related training from existing funding, accelerated training programmes at polytechnics, and further funding and measures to help place more people into the construction industry.
Polytechnics and ITOs have places available now and the Government encourages people who want to be involved with the rebuild of Christchurch to contact their local provider.
