The investment in JobTrainer and the investment that we've made in ensuring that employers across Australia are able to keep on their apprentices and trainees is all part of our broader JobMaker plan. The JobMaker plan is the Morrison government's plan for economic recovery as a result of COVID-19. Of course, at the heart of this plan is job creation, ensuring that employers across Australia are able to stay in business, keep their doors open and, to the extent possible, prosper, grow and create more jobs for Australians. Undertaking skills reform is an integral part of that JobMaker plan. We need to ensure that we have a training system in place that responds to what industry and employers are telling us they need. We need to have a training system that ensures that the people going through it are job ready at the end of it, and that is what we are committed to. (Time expired)
