Training and Workforce Development Minister Liza Harvey said six individuals and four organisations were at the top of their respective fields. “Each individual and organisation was chosen to represent WA because of the dedication they have shown, whether it’s learning the ropes as an apprentice or leading the way in training delivery,” she said.

“They have all worked hard to reach this level of success and should be proud of their achievements.

“Finalists are also in a unique position of being able to actively demonstrate what can be accomplished through a skills-based career, becoming role models to apprentices and trainees from all over Australia.”

Winners of this year’s awards will be named in Hobart on November 19.
