Shortfall in training budget may lead to skills shortages
WA is facing the very real prospect of a significant shortfall in its training budget, it has been revealed during Budget Estimates.
Greens spokesperson for Training Hon Alison Xamon MLC said the Government admitted during Estimates there was continued uncertainty over the level of Federal funding WA would receive and that this creates a funding hole which the State Government will struggle to fill.
Ms Xamon said that this created the very real risk of contributing to a future skills shortage.
