Building a bigger, better workforce
The 2025 Budget includes $120 million for training and higher education to ensure the skill requirements of the Territory economy are met through responsive training and higher education sectors that are aligned to the needs of Territorians and Territory employers.
The 2025 Budget also includes additional funding of $2 million per annum in 2025-26 and 2026-27 to attract workers and students to grow the Territory’s population and address workforce shortages.
The funding will deliver skilled migration programs, worker attraction and retention activities, ensure timely processing of visa applications, and international education marketing and program delivery to attract and retain international workers and students.
