Programme funding by the Federal Government carries great weight in vocational education and training policy and research. Such funding aims to support decisions and bring about structural changes. Focal points and the scope of funding allocated to programmes are both stipulated at federal level. This position paper begins by describing control autonomy in public programme funding before going on to investigate the associated policy strategies. The focus in this regard is on the two aspects of programme support as a legitimation of political action and programme support as symbolic politics.
