Federal funding for apprentices in EV

The Federal Government announced that automotive apprentices are now eligible for funding under the New Energy Apprenticeships Program.

The New Energy Apprenticeships Program will offer payments of up to $10,000 for automotive apprentices that complete work related to clean energy, which includes service and repair of electric vehicles.

Extending the scope of the New Energy Apprenticeships Program aligns with the requirements of new automotive apprentices, who need to be trained on the latest EV and Hybrids to be future ready, but are also able to ensure the safety and reliability of the current ICE fleet.

The program also assists automotive workshops to invest in workshop equipment to support the service and repair of EVs and opens up a new opportunity to attract and recruit apprentices to their business.
