Three Catholic school students, a graduate and a teacher are among the finalists in the 2018 SA Training Awards. St Patrick’s Technical College and MTC Training are also up for organisation awards.
“This is an amazing line up! We congratulate and wish all the finalists well,” says Jacqui Asser, Senior Education Adviser, Vocational Education at Catholic Education South Australia.
‘The SA Training Awards aim to raise the profile of skills and reward individuals and organisations for their outstanding commitment and contribution to skilling Australia. The awards recognise high achievers in Vocational Education and Training (VET) in industries that prepare students for the current and future world of work. In addition to nationally accredited training, students undertaking VET gain practical experience, industry exposure and learn essential skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork.
