Applications for the 2012 National Focus categories are NOW OPEN.
The National Focus categories
recognise outstanding contributions towards the attainment of Australia’s national vocational education training system (VET) priorities. In particular, the National Focus categories acknowledge contributions of individuals, schools, businesses and organisations that have had a significant impact on the VET sector.
In 2012, categories include the Community Pathways to VET Award, which recognises community-based, not-for-profit organisations that demonstrate excellence and/or innovation in delivering pre-vocational education and training (VET) to their local community.
The award acknowledges the importance of an integrated system of quality training that offers multiple pathways to VET, particularly for hard-to-reach learners.
Finalists of the 2012 National Focus categories will be recognised at the Australian Training Awards in Melbourne on Friday 16 November 2012.
