The 2023-24 round of the Next Generation Graduates Program (NGGP) has just opened, offering $15.5 million to help address the tech skills shortage in Australia.

The program plans to fund up to 500 scholarships, aiming to train future professionals in AI and emerging technologies, with a particular focus on regional Australia.

The Australian Government funds the NGGP, which is open to domestic students. It seeks candidates from a variety of academic backgrounds — from social sciences and professional fields to computational sciences and mathematics.

The NGGP has allocated a total of $15.5 million for student stipends and allowances, set to be distributed between 2024-2029.
