Organisation awards

WA Training Awards are presented to outstanding organisations for their contribution to vocational education and training (VET) in Western Australia.

The Western Australian Training Awards recognise excellence in VET and the outstanding achievements of our VET students, apprentices and trainees, practitioners and training providers, organisations and employers. The Awards have eight individual categories, and five organisation categories.

In addition to the networking these prestigious awards bring, organisation winners are recognised as industry leaders and promoted through a variety of media and marketing opportunities. Eligible winners may also have the opportunity to represent WA at the Australian Training Awards in December. 

Applications for the 2024 WA Training Awards open on Friday 1 March and close on Friday 26 April.

Keep an eye on our social media channels for all the latest news, and to follow each stage of the WA Training Awards program.

  • WA Industry Collaboration Award

    This award recognises exemplary skills development collaborations* between at least one employer/industry body and at least one organisation delivering nationally recognised training.

    Eligibility

    To apply for the Industry Collaboration Award:

    • at least one party must be an industry organisation (e.g. employer, enterprise, group of enterprises, industry association, industry advisory body, trade union or professional association)
    • at least one party must be delivering nationally recognised vocational education and training or directly contributing to the outcomes of nationally recognised vocational education and training which leads to formal qualifications or Statements of Attainment under the Australian Qualifications Framework

    *A ‘collaboration’ is where two or more parties work together to achieve shared goals. A ‘partnership’ is a business structure where two or more parties enter a contractual relationship in which they can legally share profits, risks and losses according to terms set out in their partnership agreement. The key difference between a partnership and a collaboration is that parties who work collaboratively do not necessarily need to be bound contractually.

    This award is to recognise outstanding collaborations, not partnerships.
