Minister’s Foreword
On behalf of my ministerial colleagues and myself, I would like to officially welcome you to the Australian Training Awards.
The Australian Training Awards are the peak, national awards for the vocational education and training (VET) sector. These prestigious awards recognise and reward organisations, training providers and individuals for their outstanding commitment and contribution to building a skilled, productive and prosperous Australia.
The Australian Government, together with the state and territory governments, is committed to ensuring the quality of the vocational education and training sector and to providing a continuity of highly skilled workers, ensuring a strong and secure economy for Australia well into the future. By working collaboratively with industry, we will reform the vocational education and training sector to improve its flexibility, responsiveness and social inclusiveness.
The best of the best in Australia, demonstrating best practice and excellence in the VET sector, are showcased in the Australian Training Awards magazine. Please take the time to have a look through these inspirational stories, which feature the winners and runners up of the Australian Training Awards.
I also invite you to look through the various Award categories and encourage you to consider nominating yourself or an exceptional individual or organisation for an Australian Training Award. The winners of these prestigious awards are announced at the Australian Training Awards presentation ceremony in November.
