The Australian Apprenticeships – Employer Award recognises those employers who have made innovative improvements in training which benefit the outcomes for their apprentices and/or trainees in Australia.
The Award is one of the 18 awards presented at the 2015 Australian Training Awards, the peak national awards for vocational education and training (VET).
“The award gives us real credibility when we promote ourselves as an employer of choice. Workforce shortages are an increasing issue in the community sector and winning this award gives us an edge over other organisations.”
