The awards is a national showcase of both accredited and non-accredited training organisations demonstrating excellence in vocational education and training. 

Candlefox’s Head of Partnerships, Jim Rodd, says the awards exemplify the best in our VET sector. 

“It is important for us to recognise and celebrate outstanding training organisations and their impact on our domestic learners. These are organisations who are delivering the highest standard of industry-relevant courses that contribute to Australia’s pipeline of skilled workers,” says Jim. 

Education expert and thought leader, Claire Field, echoed Jim’s statements. 

“As we all prepare to enter a post-COVID world, we must take time to recognise the achievements of our VET sector over what has been an incredibly difficult time,” Claire says. 

“This year’s award recipients and finalists have demonstrated remarkable resilience and they should be commended for it. It’s great to see the excellence within the vocational education and training sector being recognised.”

“I’m honoured to have played a role in recognising these future leaders, innovators, and change-makers. Congratulations, again, to Candlefox’s 2021 award recipients and finalists.”
