THE Australian Government's $10,000 incentive for apprentices in residential construction and clean energy is welcomed by the Independent Tertiary Education Council of Australia (TECA) but criticised for overlooking widespread skills shortages across industries like agriculture, healthcare, tourism, and ICT. While the $627M initiative supports recruitment and retention in targeted sectors, it fails to address systemic gaps in small business support and broader workforce needs. ITECA urges inclusive policies to strengthen Australia's apprenticeship system across all industries.
