Benefits under the Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme have been extended to two classes of applicants for technical training. Ex servicemen and women previously rejected for full time training may re-apply if they fit categories: those who interrupted a full time course to enlist and not covered by apprenticeship provisions of the Re establishment Act, or those who began training before the war in occupations affected by war conditions and now seek a different course with better job security.
Closing date for application is 30 June 1947 or 12 months after discharge, whichever is later. Further details available at the Ministry of Post War Reconstruction in all capital cities.
