Victoria Revives SEC for Electrician Apprenticeships

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan revives an old model to tackle a modern issue: a shortage of electricians, particularly in the clean energy sector. The government plans to restart apprenticeships through a state-owned body, similar to the former State Electricity Commission, offering 2,000 apprenticeships over four years. This move is inspired by Allans personal history, aiming to recreate the sense of community and career security provided by the original SEC. Meanwhile, the Labor partys state conference discusses various policies, including a reduced workweek, reproductive health leave, and cannabis decriminalization, reflecting their vision for the upcoming election.
