58 state finalists will compete for eleven awards at the 52nd Queensland Training Awards to be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre this Friday 13 September 2013.
Paul Miles, CEO BUSY At Work congratulated all finalists, in particular the seven finalists out of 11 categories, which BUSY have provided apprenticeship and traineeship support.
“I wish all state finalists the very best and congratulate them on their outstanding achievements in the vocational education training sector. It is very gratifying to know that BUSY’s contribution has played an integral role for seven of our state finalists,” Mr Miles said.
The Awards recognise people and organisations who strive for success, best practice and innovation in training. Winners of the eleven state awards will progress to the Australian Training Awards held in Perth on Friday 22 November.
“For a trainee or apprentice, winning an award can really enhance their career and open many doors for them. Similarly, a win for a small business will raise their profile and assist in establishing their business as a reputable employer of choice” Mr Miles said.
