Funding & resources

Training subsidies

Seafood ITO pays a direct subsidy to businesses for all unit standards-based training.

• The subsidy that Seafood ITO pays for training is up to 50% of the cost of the training, with limits
• Seafood ITO charges a training fee of $100 per trainee when a training agreement is signed.  This covers the cost of registering credits with NZQA
• Seafood ITO Industry Training Managers will prepare a training plan, and where appropriate seek prices from training providers to undertake this training.  We can not support training unless it has been approved by a Training Manager.

For industry training using a training provider, Seafood ITO can provide a level of subsidy.  This amount will depend on the training level and the company contribution to funding. 

To find out what level of funding your business may be eligible for, and details around funding arrangements please contact us.
