(accessed 14 June 2017). The Vocational Training and Employment Centres (VTEC)
Program supports and places Indigenous job seekers into sustainable jobs for up
to 26 weeks, and includes job specific training. VTECs receive a single 26 week
employment outcome fee and are expected to identify and source support from
other sources including CDP providers. CDP providers can also claim their
outcome payments as per their funding agreement, so VTEC and CDP are not
duplication of funding.
