How to apply
Applications are made through
Department of Training and Workforce Development
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to Department of Training and Workforce Development's own page for this program is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- No closing date has been published, so check the official page for the current round before you begin. Any date that appears there is picked up on the next nightly read.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.
