Training grants for mature age workers

Monday 05 July 2010

On 1 July 2010 the Australian Government launched a new suite of services designed to support mature age Australians who want to stay in the workforce.

Through the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) Experience Plus program, employers may be able to access grants of $4 950 to train workers aged 55 years and over so they can provide supervisory or mentoring support in the workplace.

There are a range of other tools and resources available on the Experience Plus website to help employers attract and retain skilled and experienced workers.

To find out more information, visit the DEEWR website.
