2023 Australian Training Awards Apprentice of the Year Winner
Amy’s journey from aspiring cable jointer to industry standout showcases the transformative power of vocational education.
Amy sought a career outdoors, in a team, with new challenges every day. Thanks to #VET, Amy is now the youngest and only female cable jointer at her worksite.
As Amy puts it, “VET gave me what felt like purpose. It gave me a career I now love and opened my eyes to the importance of trades.”
The Hon Brendan O`Connor MP has emphasized that BuildSkills, will work across the VET sector with educators and training providers to develop world-leading qualifications and solutions, bridging skills gaps for workers and employers.
Buildskills are defining the way vocational education impacts industries, including the construction industry in which Amy now works within.
It`s great to see success stories such as Amy`s.
Buildskills is foundational in supporting other industries and occupations – construction can be seen as the framework to the Australian economy.

As we launched National Skills Week in NSW last Wednesday, it was fantastic to hear the keynote address from NSW Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, The Hon. Steve Whan MP.
When speaking on National Skills Week before the launch, Minister Whan said “The NSW government is on board with a 1000 apprenticeships and trainees within our organisations and 1300 more in local government. The training we offer through our TAFEs and RTOs is absolutely vital."
TAFE NSW Managing Director Stephen Brady said “Vocational education is for every Australian, whether they’re beginning their career, taking it to the next level, or changing careers.”

Shining the spotlight on inspiring people who are studying vocational education, alongside another career.
Tropical North Queensland`s 2024 Harry Hauenschild Apprentice of the Year, Terrence Casey-Douglas, is completing a Certificate III in Landscape Construction with support from his trainer and employer.
Terrence is a proud Tagalaka and Kurtijar man who has developed his skills and worked as the second-in-charge of a major project in Gordonvale, all while playing for the Northern Pride in the Queensland Rugby League.
Vocational education allows the opportunity to pursue different career paths at the same time.

National Skills Week is a week to celebrate the opportunities VET provides, and to shine a spotlight on those leading the way.
All Purpose Transport is a great example of how industry is changing the game within VET, creating game changing pathways and opportunities for apprentices and employees.
One of Queensland’s largest privately-owned transport companies, All Purpose Transport, won 2023 Medium Employer of the Year at the Queensland Training Awards.
In 2012 it launched a workforce development program, Project APT, with the aim that every employee would earn a qualification from TAFE Queensland. Now in its 11th year, 500 workers have earned a certificate III-level qualification or higher in their field of expertise.
It`s fantastic to see industry changing the lives of those around them.
