AVTES Awards 2011
The AVTES Awards recognise and reward excellence in training and the important contribution made by apprentices, trainees, students, and employers in building a productive and rewarding training culture. They are held annually and integrate with the Victorian Training Awards requirements, allowing AVTES nominees to also nominate for the state awards if they wish to do so.
Each year AVTES rewards our most dedicated and high achieving students and employers through the AVTES Awards.
