At its heart, Vocational Education and Training (VET) is about empowerment.
We are not just educators; we are life-changers, shaping Australia's future through our commitment to quality, excellence, and innovative education.

At the 2023NVC Velg Training awarded the very first John Dwyer Honorary Award to John Dwyer himself!

We acknowledged the lasting and positive impact he has made, not only on the Sector, but on so many individuals in a range of different ways.

Our aim was (and is) to honour the unsung heroes of VET and to celebrate those whose efforts may have enriched the industry,
had a special impact on students, community, or fellow professionals.

This award is not about numbers, money, or standards of excellence; it is a testament to dedication and positive influence in the Sector.

So! If you know someone who should be celebrated at the 2025 National Conference, we encourage you to complete this simple nomination form.
