Smart and Skilled Program (SSP)
The Smart and Skilled Program is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and NSW Governments to help NSW residents gain the skills they need to find a job and/or advance their careers. Selected courses are available at public NSW TAFE and various government-appointed private colleges. Training under the Smart and Skilled Program is managed by the NSW Department of Education and Training and is subsidized by both governments. Subsidized tuition fees are the same whether you study at TAFE or at any government-selected colleges, such as UPC.
