About the Awards

The WA Training Awards recognise and reward outstanding achievements of apprentices, trainees and vocational students, and the contribution to training made by trainers, training organisations and employers.

In their fifteenth year, the Awards continue to celebrate our training elite and open doors and create bright futures for the State's top achievers.

In 2009 there are twelve categories in the WA Training Awards; five student categories, one trainer category and six organisational categories.
