WA Trainer of the Year 2023
Sponsored by the Training Accreditation Council WA
Holly Gudsell
- Delivers training in iEducation Support
- Employed by North Metropolitan TAFE
A teaching position in a remote Aboriginal community in Fitzroy Crossing was the catalyst for a change in career direction for Holly, as she discovered an interest in Aboriginal education.
Having previously worked as a teacher and then abroad teaching English in Kenya and China, it was while lecturing in Education Support at North Metropolitan TAFE that Holly was approached to develop and deliver a new program for the Department of Education to upskill Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Officers (AIEOs) across Perth Metropolitan Schools.
Here she delivered a “mixed-mode” course which successfully supported Aboriginal students through the Certificate III and IV in Education Support.

WA International Student of the Year 2023
Federica Ceretta
- Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care
- Trained at Australian Institute of Workplace Training
Despite a love of caring for and working with children, there were limited opportunities for Federica to pursue this as a career in her home country of Italy. Coming to Australia was the realisation of a long-held ambition, which she first announced to her parents at the age of six.
Federica started working as an au pair in Perth and travelled all over Australia, but says Perth is the place she loves the most and calls home.
She says studying for her dream job in Perth helped to change her life and only six months after qualifying she has moved from being an educator to an assistant director at the childcare centre where she works.

WA Cultural Diversity Training Award 2023
Olga Hurina
- Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety
- Employed by: Gold Corporation
- Trained at North Metropolitan TAFE
In March 2022, Olga made the difficult decision to move to Western Australia from Ukraine on a humanitarian visa after the outbreak of war. Her husband encouraged her to make the journey, even though he could not leave due to the national ban on men emigrating.
Olga chose her course because she had experience in legal compliance in Ukraine and wanted to contribute to safer working environments.
So determined was she to perfect her English that she recently moved from living with her sister-in-law to an Australian host family who did not speak her language, and says they have been like second parents to her.
