Gayle Tierney MP, has announced the opening of nominations for the 2023 Victorian Training Awards. Nominations must close midnight Friday 12 May, there can be no extension beyond this date.<\/p>\n
The Victorian Training Awards are the state\u2019s most prestigious accolade for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. The Awards celebrate individuals, employers and training providers, not only for their outstanding achievements in training, but also for the ways their training has benefited them and their communities in other parts of their lives. VDC is the proud sponsor of the Teacher \/ Trainer of the Year Award.<\/p>\n
To summarise the 2023 VTA Nomination Guide<\/a>, there are 14 general award categories, the People\u2019s Choice awards, and of course a special individual award \u2013 the Lynne Kosky Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement.<\/p>\n This year marks 69 years of the Victorian Training Awards. Every year the Awards give the nominees an opportunity to reflect on their achievements. The process that nominees go through is fairly simple: Some nominees will be shortlisted for interviews and some will be named as finalists, before one winner is crowned in each Award category.<\/p>\n There are a lot of benefits to nominating for the awards. Not only is it a great opportunity to reflect on achievements and developments \u2013 but the VTA\u2019s also provide opportunities for networking with industry leaders and peers, career opportunities and progression, prizes including cash prizes and MacBook laptops, as well as enhancing reputation and industry profile for employer and training provider finalists and winners.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also the opportunity to become part of the Victorian Training Awards Ambassador Program, which will further promote and highlight the stories of previous VTA winners and finalists and provide further media, speaking and networking opportunities.<\/p>\n There\u2019s quite a roster of award categories, so they\u2019ve been broken down into their individual parts.<\/p>\n Individual Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n Business Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n Training Provider categories<\/strong><\/p>\n Lynne Kosky Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement<\/strong><\/p>\n The Lynne Kosky Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement is presented in recognition of an individual\u2019s outstanding leadership and contribution to the Victorian TAFE and training sector for 15 years or more.<\/p>\n People\u2019s Choice Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n The People\u2019s Choice Awards are open to finalists from individual sponsored categories and are decided in the lead up to the Gala ceremony by online public voting.<\/p>\n You can find out more information (such as how to nominate, key dates, Conditions of Entry, etc.) here on the 2023 VTA Nomination Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhy nominate?<\/h2>\n
