FAQ’s on the PPP:
 
What is the Productivity Places Program (PPP)?

The Productivity Places Program is part of a National Agreement between the Federal Government and the State Governments. NSW has a state specific agreement with the Commonwealth.
 
The Program is designed to support employment in New South Wales by funding an additional 175,000 qualifications for existing workers and job seekers through till June 2012.

The qualifications can range from a Certificate II right through to Advanced Diploma and cover a mix of pathways including traineeships and classroom based delivery.

The Program is managed through the NSW Training Market.

How do I apply for these new qualifications in the Building and Construction Industry under the PPP?

Back to Basics subsidised programs are restricted in the building and construction industry, only available in NSW and only applicable to existing workers (definition can be clarified upon enquiry).
