THE annual VET Awards recognise exceptional high school students and host employers for their contributions to the Work Placement Program. These awards celebrate student achievement and the invaluable role of employers in shaping the next generation of skilled workers.
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch says that the role of vocational education and training cannot be understated.
“Congratulations to all students and host employers recognised at the 2024 VET Awards." said Ms Tesch.
“Vocational Education and Training is such an important part in upskilling the future workforce across subjects like hospitality, construction, entertainment and more.
“Funded by the NSW Department of Education, The Skill Engineer Ltd. plays a vital role in coordinating placements across the Central Coast and Sydney in VET subjects.”
Charlotte Dickie, Operations Manager of The Skill Engineer Ltd. says that vocational education and training is beneficial to both students and employers.
“Lending expertise to youth exploring opportunities in their chosen industry requires effort, but it’s truly a win-win for both students and employers," Ms Dickie said.
“Employers gain an extra set of hands while helping to shape the future workforce. For students, it’s a valuable chance to experience the working world firsthand.
“Vocational education is a vital part of schooling, and it’s just as important to celebrate those who excel.”
