This investment is part of the government's 2.5 billion AU dollar (2.27 billion U.S. dollar) ten-year Trade Training Centers in Schools program, which aims to ensure all Australian students are given every opportunity to secure high-skill, high wage jobs. The announcement was jointly made by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Minister for Education Bill Shorten on Wednesday. As a result, thousands of students in 225 schools across Australia will benefit from new training opportunities in 137 new Trade Training Centers.

Over 60 percent of these schools are located in regional Australia.
