The Federal Government has announced its latest skills program where the focus is to train school leavers in areas where there are jobs or to re-skill those who are unemployed as a result of the pandemic.
"COVID-19 is unprecedented but I want Australians to be ready for the sorts of jobs that will come as we build back and recover," Mr Morrison said.
"The jobs and skills we'll need as we come out of the crisis are not likely to be the same as those that were lost."The Government said the "target areas" that will be covered by JobTrainer will be worked out by the NSC in consultation with the states. But it flagged areas like healthcare and social assistance, transport, postal and warehousing, manufacturing, retail trade and wholesale trade as industries that were ones of future job growth.
What the exact qualifications or course content will be is still unclear and will be worked out "over time" by the NSC.The new training places will be spread across the country, with the bigger states receiving more places.

Email 'links top Vic bureaucrats to hotel quarantine rorts' | Sky News AustraliaSenior bureaucrats within the Andrews government were reportedly notified that using private security firms to police Victoria’s hotel quarantine system would be problematic less than 24 hours after the program was launched. \n\nAn email from a top official in the Jobs Department- which regulated contracts with the private security firms – allegedly requested police assistance for overseeing the quarantine system - a request which was not met. \n\nHealth authorities linked a significant portion of the state’s surge in coronavirus infections to breaches in the hotel quarantine program after private security guards reportedly rorted the system and breached strict social distancing requirements. \n\nWhen probed about the matter on Tuesday, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said it would be inappropriate for him to answer the question and it should be left to the judicial inquiry. \n\n“That’s not a matter for me to determine either in fact or to offer you an opinion,” Mr Andrews said. \n\nMeanwhile, the Premier revealed an agreement with the Prime Minister would see an additional 1,000 ADF personnel deployed on the ground in Victoria to assist with the health response. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
