About the Event

MTPConnect deploys the $32 million Researcher Exchange and Development (REDI) initiative supported by the MRFF. The four-year initiative aims to deliver system-wide improvements to skills development and training programs for the MTP workforce.

MTPConnect is partnering with research, training and industry organisations to deploy an integrated three-pillar plan driving skills and workforce development for the MTP sector nationally.

REDI has undertaken a skills gap analysis in the MTP sector, identifying critical skills gaps that are detailed in a new report, Driving skills development and workforce training for the future MTP workforce. Closing the gaps identified in the report is vital for Australia’s MTP workforce to meet future demands.

Under Round Two of the REDI Contestable (REDIC) Program, MTPConnect is calling for suitably qualified organisations to submit proposals for programs that address two key skills gaps:
• Identifying unmet market need and understanding the clinical context
• Ability to secure investment, funding and/or industry collaboration
