Welcomed by the School Director, we were also introduced to two students, Justine and Samuel, chosen by their classmates from year nine to represent them at the launch. Following the event, as the school is nearby, we were graciously invited to visit their campus and meet with their faculty. Over the course of the next eight months, we will maintain regular communication with the school as they familiarise themselves with our team, the Skillaroos, our skills, and Australia as a whole. Subsequently, our Skillaroos will reciprocate the gesture by visiting their school, fostering cultural exchange and understanding. Our partner school, College Vendome, has approximately 800 students spanning from year 8 to year 12. We look forward to documenting our journey together, from the launch to our school visit, and the eventual triumphs at the WSC2024, capturing the essence of this remarkable collaboration. ![MicrosoftTeams-image (23)](https://info.worldskills.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(23).png?width=2000&height=1500&name=MicrosoftTeams-image%20(23).png "MicrosoftTeams-image (23)") ![MicrosoftTeams-image (22)](https://info.worldskills.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(22).png?width=2000&height=1500&name=MicrosoftTeams-image%20(22).png "MicrosoftTeams-image (22)") ![MicrosoftTeams-image (15)](https://info.worldskills.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(15).png?width=2000&height=1500&name=MicrosoftTeams-image%20(15).png "MicrosoftTeams-image (15)") --- ![ata-logo](https://info.worldskills.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ata-logo.png?width=300&height=194&name=ata-logo.png "ata-logo") ![ATA 30 Year Stamp_Mono](https://info.worldskills.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ATA%2030%20Year%20Stamp_Mono.png?width=150&height=103&name=ATA%2030%20Year%20Stamp_Mono.png "ATA 30 Year Stamp_Mono") # State Training Awards Nominations Now OPEN! The 2024 Training Award process has commenced with multiple states opening their nomination process. This is a great way for people within the VET system to be recognised within their state and nationally. The Awards recognise and celebrate excellence and are an important mechanism for promoting the benefits of VET. Winners from each state and territory training awards compete for a national award title. Direct entry is also available for some award categories. This has led to Australia-wide awareness and respect for skill-based careers and skills excellence.
