PSP in 2012

Program Overview

Priorities Support Program (PSP) is one of the schedules under the ACT Competitive Allocation for Skills Initiatives (CASI) contractual arrangement. In 2012, PSP funding will provide training opportunities for full certificate I, II or III qualifications or subset skill sets. Registered Training Organisation (RTOs) may nominate to deliver qualifications under PSP from the Priorities Support Program Qualifications 2012  (82kb).

PSP is designed to provide access to training opportunities for people who cannot readily access, or who do not have a high chance of success in, other government funded training programs.  For such participants barriers to access and success may include cultural difference, physical or mental disability, length of time since previous education and training, lack of success in previous education, literacy and/or numeracy levels which are inadequate to support participation in other formal education and training and lack of emotional readiness and confidence to undertake formal education and training.
