The Southern Sydney Business Education Network (SSBEN) VET Excellence Award is granted to students across participating schools who have demonstrated great dedication in achieving practical competencies as well as theory requirements in their VET subjects. Organised by the SSBEN personnel, Ms Batkov and I were invited for an awards breakfast at the St George Motor Boat Club on 2 September 2015 which commenced with a delicious breakfast that indeed satisfied our appetites.
The event flowed successfully, acknowledging host employers, teachers and student award winners. Being a recipient of the 2015 SSBEN VET Excellence Award for Business Services was overwhelming – an experience that most truly reminds me that the hard work for the past two years has been worthwhile.
Personally, I believe VET subjects provide students with great training for various fields within industries. I especially enjoyed taking part in work placements that exposed me to the reality of the work force. I strongly recommend VET courses as not only does industry learning enhance skills for the ‘big world' but also creates a beneficial pathway for a student's future career.
