Productivity Places Program
Updated 5 June 2011
What is the Productivity Places Program?
The Productivity Places Program (PPP) is a joint Federal and State Government funded program that aims to increase employment opportunities by providing training to eligible job seekers at no cost to them. Asset Training Australia is a contracted preferred training provider under the PPP which means that we can offer "Free Training" to eligible job seekers while the program is operating.
