Common use of THE WORKERS IN TRANSITION PROGRAM Clause in Contracts

THE WORKERS IN TRANSITION PROGRAM. The Victorian Government supports retrenched workers by providing individuals with the opportunity to build on their current skills or retrain through the Workers in Transition program (WiTP). The program aims to efficiently transition workers facing retrenchment to alternative employment with minimal disruption to economic participation through the application of appropriate training strategies. WiTP provides retrenched individuals with access to government subsidised training if they do not meet the ‘up-skilling’ requirement of the Victorian Training Guarantee. Retrenched individuals taking part in the program are provided with a WiTP letter from the Department which refers them to the RTO. Individuals can obtain this letter from a DEECD Regional Market Facilitation Manager. Details of the Department’s Regional Market Facilitation Managers can be found at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/Xxxxx/xxxx.xxxx Purpose
