Budget 2026: Trades training sees financial boost

A trades training boost is coming at the expense of fees-free university. Trades academy places are doubling to $20,000 over four years - giving school students the ability to learn trades, while at school.

It's expected to eventually increase the amount of people in apprenticeships.
