The 29 outstanding individual finalists in this year's WA Training Awards have been announced today.
The WA Training Awards put the training sector in the spotlight by highlighting the achievements of apprentices, trainees, VET students, training organisations and employers. The awards help highlight the opportunities the VET sector provides people to upskill or retrain, ensuring they can adapt to a changing economy, workplaces and jobs.
Caitlan Noble, a finalist in the WA Vocational Student of the Year 2018 category, completed a Bachelor of Commerce but discovered her passion for the health industry while completing an internship with Telethon. She diverted from a potential career in marketing to complete a Diploma of Anaesthetic Technology at North Metropolitan TAFE, and is now employed as an anaesthetic technician at King Edward Memorial Hospital.
The individual finalists will join the recently announced organisational finalists at the awards presentation in September. Winners may be eligible to compete against the nation's best at the Australian Training Awards later in the year.
The WA Training Awards 2018 winners will be announced at the presentation dinner in September.
