Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

1) Employment pathways programs and opportunities may be offered by many organisations in the ACT, including universities, not-for-profits, private companies, private schools and the Australian Government. The ACT Government fully or partially funds and/or administers the following programs.

a) Online learning opportunities

Registered training organisations (RTOs) and universities deliver nationally recognised or accredited qualifications to eligible students in the ACT using distance, online and blended learning modes.

The Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) is the ACT’s public provider of government-funded vocational education and training (VET). There are currently 85 RTOs, including CIT, that also offer subsidised training through Australian Apprenticeships and the Skilled Capital programs in the ACT. A further 57 RTOs can deliver fee for service training to ACT residents.
