Last Friday night we were back at Wrest Point for the Tasmanian Training Awards ✨
Twelve months ago Steve stood on that stage as Tasmania's VET Teacher/Trainer of the Year, and SCALA was named Small Training Provider of the Year before going on to take bronze at the national awards in Darwin. This year Steve was back on the same stage in a different role, presenting the Trainer of the Year award and helping host the evening.
SCALA goes into the awards every second year, so we were in the audience this time. That turns out to be a lovely place to sit. You notice the nerves at the tables, and the people who came along to sit beside someone on their big night.
Congratulations to TasNetworks, named Small Training Provider of the Year.
We work with TasNetworks in other parts of the organisation, so it was a pleasure to be in the room and watch them recognised.
The past year has also reshaped Steve's own work. Trainer of the Year opened doors to keynote work well beyond Tasmania, and he now spends a solid part of the year in front of national audiences on AI and leadership. Representing this state in those rooms is something we are proud of.
Congratulations to all 13 winners and to every single one of the 67 finalists! 💛
