Melton NextSteps Program - Industry Collaboration Award.

This one is all about opening doors for young people in Melbourne’s west. This pilot brings together Kangan Institute, Lendlease, local schools and employers to help students stay connected to education, build confidence and see rewarding future options for themselves.

It’s practical, local and built around real jobs and workforce need with the potential to grow further when our new Melton Campus opens in 2028.

Vocational Student of the Year – Masoumeh Bayat

Masoumeh’s story is about backing yourself to start again and using skills to transform your future.

Through her cybersecurity training, Masoumeh has rebuilt her career, stepped into work as a network support engineer and continued her studies to grow her future in tech.

These finalists give us plenty to celebrate.

Rylie Cadd is helping Aboriginal children and families reconnect with culture, identity and kin - and he's building the leadership skills to deepen that impact.

Through targeted training at Kangan Institute, Rylie stepped into an acting team leader role mid-course with V***A - Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency, applying his learning in real time to support his team and the families they work with.

Now recognised with the 202 Ricci Marks Award, he continues to grow as a leader in high-demand kinship and connection work - strengthening outocmes for community across Victoria.

This NAIDOC Week, we gathered on Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung Country to honour 50 years of deadly strength, leadership and cultural pride – and to recognise the generations who have shaped the path we walk today.

Across our Broadmeadows campus, Elders, community, staff and students came together to celebrate culture, share voices and reflect on the legacy carried forward by today’s young leaders.

We were proud to stand with community partners including The Long Walk and Wandarra, reaffirming our commitment to truth-telling, cultural safety and meaningful action.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan guides us, keeping our focus on community priorities and meaningful, respectful action.

At Kangan Institute, we’re choosing a future built on respect, understanding and shared purpose.
