The following information is taken from the relevant websites, and links are attached for you to research further. Labor Party:... 'Keeping CIT at the centre of the training system' ACT Labor recognises the vital role CIT plays in our city, and we will continue to grow this great institution. Labor is committed to providing a secure funding future for CIT and will directly fund CIT to a minimum of 70% of total ACT Government funding for VET.

09.01.2022 March Member Meet Up today at the National Press Club

08.01.2022 Hi All We have some good news! As a direct result of APTS advocacy with the Chief Minister's Office (CM), the Government has committed to an August release of Skilled Capital including the possibility of returning some of the in-demand axed qualifications to the funded list. The CM wants industry consulted in a far more meaningful way prior to the August release to ensure the revised list more accurately reflects the skills needs of the ACT economy. The CM is keen to have AP...TS involved in this consultation process and you can rest assured knowing that APTS will be fighting hard for the interests of non-Government training providers. APTS has been in close contact with Dan Jervis-Bardy from the Canberra Times. Dan has already published three articles on the funding cuts (see below) and is very keen to keep the story alive. Dan has advised he will be publishing another story in the coming days based on the APTS Impact Report. APTS has also met with Andrew Wall MLA Shadow Minister for Skills. Andrew does not support the funding cuts and is highly motivated to apply as much pressure to the Government as possible. Andrew has already used Question Time in the Legislative Assembly to seek answers, however, he was mostly unsuccessful in causing any level of embarrassment or discomfort to CM Barr. The video recording of the exchange is available at Assembly On-Demand (in the search field click on the drop-down bar and select Mr Wall. The file is called Q3 Tertiary Education - funding Mr Wall / Madam Speaker Thursday 13th February 2020). In our meeting with Andrew Wall MLA, he stopped short of making any commitment to return funding to 2019 levels if his party was elected, however, he vowed to continue taking the fight to Government on this matter. Andrew has thoroughly read the Impact Report and is highly appreciative of APTS efforts to prepare such a comprehensive report. Moving forward, APTS is very keen to ramp up the pressure on Government. We will shortly be sending an email requesting assistance from ACT training providers to locate students and employers who would be happy to speak to the Canberra Times about how the funding cuts have personally disadvantaged them. We also plan to set-up a change.org petition to garner as much support for our cause as possible. It is vitally important that as many training providers get behind this as possible. It is only through unity and strength of numbers that we can affect change.
