Mr President, as you'd be aware, the Morrison government's $1 billion JobTrainer fund is a crucial component of our record investment in vocational education and training. It's also an integral part of the government's JobMaker plan. All states and territories came on board with the co-investment. It's all about providing free or low-cost training to jobseekers and young people, including school leavers. The key to the training, though, is that we have worked individually with the states and territories to determine what their individual labour market demand is, and the JobTrainer courses, the free or low-cost training, actually reflect what is in demand in the states' and territories' labour markets themselves. Our goal as a government is to ensure that Australians receive qualifications in areas of skills demand. In other words, they are training for where the jobs are.
