Springboard+ is a scheme that aims to reskill people in areas where skilled job opportunities are growing.

It provides free higher-education courses for people who are unemployed and for those looking to return to the workforce. Individuals who are working can also apply for a Springboard course, but if they are accepted onto a course, they must pay a 10 per cent contribution towards the fee.
