In particular, the National Focus categories acknowledge contributions of individuals, schools, businesses and organisations which have had a significant impact on the VET sector.
In 2012, categories include:
This Award 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.
This Award recognises a registered training organisation that demonstrates outstanding achievement in embedding sustainability principles through their programs, products and work practices in the provision of nationally recognised training.
This Award recognises eligible individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership promoting and advancing quality to achieve positive outcomes in the vocational education and training (VET) sector.
