Indigenous Training Support (ITS) Program

The Indigenous Training Support (ITS) program has been developed to enhance training and employment outcomes for Indigenous people in regional and remote areas of Western Australia. The ITS program is jointly funded by the Western Australian Department of Education and Training and the Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training.

The ITS program funds Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and not-for-profit Group Training Organisations (GTOs) - working in partnership with community-based organisations and employers - to co-ordinate the provision of support services for associated training programs to Indigenous clients. Initiatives should be based on partnerships that involve local industry contributions, whereby companies directly benefit from increased work skills of Indigenous participants.
