The Transitioning Workforce Fund is part of the Australian Government’s Supporting Worker Transition Through Energy System Changes program. It provides project funding to support local workforces in specific priority regions impacted by the closure of coal and gas-fired power stations and their supplying coal mines. The fund supports workers and communities adapt in regions undergoing change.
Transitioning Workforce Fund projects aim to improve access to jobs and training opportunities, increase workforce participation, ensure businesses can access a workforce with the skills they need, and strengthen the social and economic wellbeing of communities.
Tender
A request for proposals is currently open to provide services to address priorities in the region. Initial priorities identified via the community’s local Worker Transition Advisory Group are to strengthen jobs and skills pathways for First Nations people, enhance the Hunter community’s awareness and participation in the workforce energy transition, and to strengthen pathways into emerging industries. Proposals are sought for services that address any of these priorities.
