National Monday Update Issue:
WA RTO’s can apply for a share of $566,300 in funding to develop innovative e-learning.
Funding will be awarded to RTOs based on their ability to:

- engaging Indigenous and young learners
- supporting regional communities
- developing innovative and new models of workplace delivery and assessment.
