Nominations open soon for the 2026 Tasmanian Training Awards

Apprenticeship Support Australia is proud to support the Tasmanian Training Awards as they return in 2026 to celebrate the state’s finest apprentices, trainees, vocational students, teachers, trainers, employers and training providers.

Each year, the Tasmanian Training Awards recognise outstanding achievements across the vocational education and training (VET) sector, shining a light on individuals and organisations who demonstrate excellence, commitment and innovation. Winners become important ambassadors for VET in Tasmania, representing the state’s training system and inspiring others to pursue rewarding pathways.

With a strong focus on acknowledging both individual talent and the essential role of employers, industry groups and training providers, the awards highlight the collective effort that drives skills development and workforce growth across Tasmania.
