What Higher Level Skills (HLS)?

The Higher Level Skills program provides a government subsidy to support eligible individuals to access subsidised training in selected certificate IV or above qualifications, and priority skill sets.

Subsidies are provided for a select number of certificate IV, diploma and advanced diploma qualifications, and priority skill sets critical to productivity within the workplace. The program provides the opportunity for employers to engage employees in priority training to address current workforce development needs.
