As part of the Victorian Workforce Development initiative targeting organisational capability, VDC has developed the Workforce Development Grant opportunity for operational innovation and workforce capability projects to selected providers that have a Victorian VET Skills First contract.
The 2025 VDC Workforce Development Grants aims to provide financial support to Victorian Skills First Providers to build workforce capability and development within the VET Sectors to support training providers in maintaining quality practices.
There are two project grants of $25,000 and six project grants of $15,000 available to Victorian successful applicants and to ensure the grants have the most impact across the sector, grants will be awarded across the following categories: $25,000 – One TAFE/Dual Sector $25,000 – One Private RTO $15,000 – Two TAFES (1x metro, 1x regional) $15,000 – Four Private RTOs/Learn Locals (2x metro, 2x regional).
Applicants are encouraged to focus on areas of organisational workforce capability with projects ranging from general teaching and learning practice, staff induction and ongoing support, the exploration of a key workforce issue, a feature of good practice or the needs of a particular practitioner or specialist group.
It is expected that successful projects will demonstrate measurable impacts and practical outcomes such as:
- Build skills and capability within the VET workforce
- Allow greater mobility and transference of knowledge and skills across the VET system
- Enhance the capacity of the organisation and the system as a whole
- Improved outcomes for learners
- High quality teaching and learning practice resources
- Strategies to sustain new and improved practices
