We’re thrilled to share that eight of our students and one lecturer have been named finalists in the 30th WA Training Awards today.
NMTAFE has also been recognised as a finalist in the WA Large Training Provider of the Year category.
These annual awards celebrate top achievements in Western Australia’s vocational training sector, with 31 individuals recognised across eight categories and 10 organisations competing in four categories.
This year saw a record number of submissions, surpassing last year's record, and the industry judges praised the standard of applications as 'outstanding.'
Minister for Training and Workforce Development, Hon. Simone McGurk MLA, said the calibre of this year's finalists reflects the world-class training on offer through our State's vocational training system.
"The individual finalists are fantastic ambassadors for vocational training and their stories demonstrate how training changes lives,” she said.
"I congratulate this year's finalists and look forward to learning more about their training journey at the WA Training Awards presentation ceremony in September."
Winners will be announced at a presentation ceremony in September, with individual recipients also taking home a $3,000 cash prize.
Congratulations to our fantastic staff and student finalists!
