The Partnerships to Jobs grant program provides funds to organisations that create or facilitate jobs for Tasmanians not participating in the workforce, and disadvantaged and long-term unemployed jobseekers.
The desired outcomes of the program include:
- increased participation in the labour force
- lower unemployment in target areas
- strengthened community capacity
- contribution to Tasmania Together
- increased job readiness of participants involved in funded projects
Economic Development and Tourism has been administering the Partnerships to Jobs grant program since 2003-04. To date (January 2008) the program has committed $3.1 million in grants to local organisations to achieve the desired outcomes of the program and created/facilitated 520 jobs for disadvantaged Tasmanians.
Organisations wishing to apply to funding under the program should first read the Partnership to Jobs guidelines.
There is a two-stage application process to apply for funding under the Partnerships to Jobs program.
1. Submit project outline - Organisations that wish to apply should first complete the two-page project outline
