Nominations for the 2026 Victorian Training Awards are now open!
Share your success story – we’d love to hear it.
Vocational education and training thrives on exchange and collaboration. Industry brings forward new ideas and emerging approaches, and TAFEs and training providers turn those ideas into powerful learning experiences. Together, they build the skills that drive Victoria forward – and your story is a vital part of that journey.
Every year, I’m moved by the remarkable achievements of our nominees. Their passion, resilience and creativity don’t just impress me – they spark fresh thinking across the entire training sector.
Your story, or that of a colleague, has the power to inspire learners, educators and employers right across Victoria. When we shine a light on these successes, we uplift the whole Victorian skills system and encourage others to aim even higher.
Whether you’re an apprentice, trainee, student, trainer, teacher, employer, TAFE or other training provider – you are helping build the skills our communities and economy need to thrive.
Take a moment to explore the incredible journeys of past Victorian Training Awards winners and finalists. Their achievements don’t just set the bar – they show what’s possible. Many have gone on to represent Victoria on the national stage at the Australian Training Awards and have been recognised as the best in the country.
Your hard work deserves to be celebrated. By nominating yourself or someone else, you can showcase excellence, highlight impact and help strengthen Victoria’s outstanding TAFE and training system.
Nominate for the 2026 awards. Inspire others. Lead the way.
