The NSW Training Awards were held on the 9^th September at Dockside Pavilion Darling Harbour,

Congratulations to Western Sydney we had two winners on the night

Steven Atkins 2014 VET Trainer/Teacher of the Year  TAFE NSW - Western Sydney Institute

Steven will go through to the National awards held in Adelaide on Friday, 21 November 2014; Steven currently teaches trade qualifications in Commercial Cookery and has practiced his trade for over 15 years in various commercial establishments.

Steven noticing that students are now more willing to engage with learning through platforms such as Facebook, developed a ground-breaking Mt Druitt College Commercial Cookery Facebook page. Steve's innovative approach to teaching has allowed him to develop highly successful events and community based functions, such as the Hawkers Market, that provide clear educational outcomes and deliver essential community building opportunities.

Daniel Brown 2014 Phil Darby Memorial Award - Encouragement Award for an Apprentice or Trainee

Phil Darby would have proudly supported Daniel in completing his apprenticeship. As a school-based apprentice, Daniel had a number of employers and endured some periods of unemployment, but despite this, he persevered to complete his apprenticeship.

Daniel is philosophical about his experience, believing he has benefitted from working with a number of employers. This experience has given him the understanding of how important it is to look after and mentor apprentices and above all how important it is to listen to the needs of the employer and younger apprentices.

He will be a great mentor for young apprentices who find the pathway to completion difficult and his philosophy is "it can be done if you have support and mentoring".
