The Victorian Government is expanding free skills training for plumbers and electricians to help meet growing demand in the construction and clean energy sectors.

The program will provide fully funded courses to help tradies gain new qualifications and upgrade their skills.

Training will focus on modern technologies, including energy-efficient and home electrification systems.

The initiative aims to build a larger, highly skilled workforce while supporting Victoria’s transition to cleaner energy.

Thousands of workers across metropolitan and regional Victoria are expected to benefit from the program.

The government says the investment will create more jobs, strengthen the trades workforce, and help deliver safer, more sustainable homes.
