【大纪元2018年05月04日讯】（大纪元记者宋清宁澳洲墨尔本编译报导）维州政府在最新的预算案中宣布，从明年1月起政府将为30个TAFE和18个学徒预备课程付费，帮助年轻人获得热门行业中急需的专业技能。
这些课程涉及的都是基础设施行业，包括会计、农业、建筑、护理、机动车车身修理和家具制造等，政府相信这些行业在未来几年将蓬勃发展。
能省多少钱？
简单说，从几百到数万澳元不等。学生只需支付材料和书本等学习工具的费用。
如何申请？
这和之前的申请程序没有什么不同，只有一点，申请者必须是住在维州的澳洲居民，留学生还要继续缴学费。
学完这些课程后好找工作吗？
根据相关行业的说法，是的。
维多利亚大学理工学院（Victoria University Polytechnic）执行董事德雷尔（Grant Dreher）说，政府出资资助的课程与当前的就业市场挂勾。
政府也已征求了企业雇主们的意见，达成了共识。
他说：“我认为这会使学生对雇主来说更具吸引力，也会使通向就业的课程更加吸引学生，因为他们不必支付学费。”
“这些培训都与有空缺和需要人手的技能和工作匹配。所以现在就改变你的命运，来注册一个TAFE课程吧。”
