RTO 2018 Winners and Finalists – What made them stand out?
According to the Australian Training Awards website, the winners and finalists selected for each award were selected as they were ‘high performing’ and ‘high quality’ institutes, whose courses directly support the fulfillment of its state’s skills requirements.
Strong industry engagement and close collaboration with each provider’s corresponding industry area also held great value when nominating, alongside prioritising industry qualifications in state skill shortage areas and maintaining a team of industry experts and active staff in professional fields.
When looking at the finalists and the winner for the ‘International Training Provider of the Year 2018’ award, it is clear that a unique delivery model and valuable partnerships with quality Australian universities is highly sought after, as this collaboration provides international students with multiple pathway opportunities. Conducting research such as market analysis through country profiles and employer surveys also demonstrates initiative and a clear dedication to international students; a quality that stands out against other institutions.
