Structural Adjustment Places

The Australian Government provides Structural Adjustment Places (SAP) through the Productivity Places Program (PPP) for workers who have lost their jobs due to the economic downturn. This training is specifically available via employers and representatives (e.g. unions and business associations) for groups of displaced workers and provides them with the opportunity to gain new skills and qualifications in areas they need in order to regain employment. Workers need to be in receipt of a separation certificate or notice of redundancy.

In recognition of the continuing economic downturn, on 24 February 2009, under the Jobs Package the Australian Government announced 10,000 training places for recently retrenched workers. These places are available from 1 July 2009 at the Certificate III level and above.

Structural Adjustment places can be accessed by employers or a representative (e.g. union or business association).

Upon approval of training places under SAP, the applicant is responsible for informing their retrenched workers about the availability of the training and for assisting them to select the appropriate qualification and Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to deliver it. The participants may then approach an RTO contracted to deliver the desired qualification.

Adept Training has been approved to deliver the following qualifications:

·         CHC30208 - Certificate III in Aged Care

·         CHC40108 - Certificate IV in Aged Care

·         HLT32607 -  Certificate III in Pathology
