Building Victoria’s digital workforce

Technology continues to revolutionise the way we live and work.

For businesses to thrive in a digital world, we need more people with digital skills for digital jobs.

The Victorian Government’s Digital Jobs program aims to build the state’s digital workforce by training and upskilling mid-career Victorians so they can transition into digital careers.

Over the next three years, we’ll support 5,000 mid-career Victorians to complete a six-month program that includes 12 weeks of industry-backed training followed by 12 weeks in a digital job with a Victorian business.

We’ve lined up some of the state’s top employers to host candidates, including ANZ, Carsales, Zendesk, Amazon and MYOB!

We’re looking for motivated applicants over the age of 30 who are ready for a career change, and businesses searching for great people with digital skills.

We’re backing Victorian workers and businesses to succeed.
