The Department of Education, Skills and Employment is seeking responses from entities interested in designing and delivering initiatives under the National Priority Fund, as part of the Local Jobs Program 2021-2025.

Initiatives under the National Priority Fund will address structural or other barriers to attract, recruit and retain Australian job seekers and workers, and support job creation.

The Local Jobs Program, more broadly, connects job seekers with in-demand training and employment opportunities and focuses on establishing employment pathways for those looking for work, to help them join the labour market as quickly as possible.
