The NT Government will also co-contribute matched funding to any peak industry body to support their interstate marketing campaigns that target workers to come to the Territory, to fill needed jobs or skills that are listed on the Northern Territory’s Skills and Occupations Priority List (NTSOPL). Applications for that scheme also open today.
