The Territory Workforce Program provides support for organisations to develop industry driven workforce initiatives to maximise job opportunities for Territorians and build a skilled workforce for business and industry, now and into the future.

The program has three streams:

• Stream 1 focuses on increasing the commencement and completion of apprenticeships and traineeships, including pre-apprenticeships, higher apprenticeships and other employment related training relevant to the needs of Territory businesses and industry sectors.
• Stream 2 focuses on workforce development (excluding apprenticeships and traineeships) to increase participation in the Territory economy through workforce development initiatives (including 'like' apprenticeships) that lead to employment and support targeted upskilling of Territorians.
• Stream 3 focuses on industry workforce strategies supporting innovative industry-led projects that meet sector demands and improves the productivity of Territory businesses and industry sectors.
