Excellence in VET in the Bega Valley Shire
The Workplace Learning Excellence in Vocational Education & Training (VET) Awards were held on Tuesday July 30, 2019 at Club Sapphire Merimbula. The night celebrated the many young people in the Bega Valley who have taken the opportunity to access Vocational Education and Training while still at school so have started their career journey early.
We would like to thank: Merimbula Visitor Information Centre, Bega Cheese Heritage Centre, Eden Visitor Information Centre, Cruise Eden, Merimbula Aquarium & Wharf Restaurant, Hudsons Coffee and Merimbula RSL – our exceptional host employers for 2019.
We would also like to thank our 2019 sponsors Apprenticeship Support Australia, Department of Education – Training Services NSW and Cruise Eden, because without them we wouldn’t be able to run these award nights.
A special mention to Kristy McBain – Mayor Bega Valley Shire Council, we appreciate your time in attending and being a part of our student presentations.
