l The Australian Vocational Student Prize (AVSP) recognises Year 12 students who demonstrate exceptional skills, commitment and achievement while undertaking a Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Schools program or an Australian School-based Apprenticeship.
Each year, the AVSP recognises up to 500 outstanding Year 12 students. Students are nominated by their school and each winner receives $2000 and a certificate.
The AVSP promotes the value of vocational education and training in schools recognising students who choose to pursue a practical training pathway while completing their senior secondary studies.
The Australian GovernmentÕs Scholarships for Career Advisers program provides an opportunity for practitioners to enhance their career advisory skills, and by extension, supports young people making the transition from school to work or further study.
There are two scholarship categories: a Study Scholarship or an Industry Placement.
This year 74 careers advisers were awarded a Study Scholarship, which provides each adviser with $5000 to assist in postgraduate level studies to upgrade their qualifications.
There were also 18 Industry Placement Scholarships awarded. The recipients will each receive $10 000 to support them in taking up a short-term industry placement, enriching their knowledge of workplaces, occupations and industries.
The recipients of Scholarships for Careers Advisers were selected from metropolitan, regional and remote areas across Australia.
This program is part of the Australian Government's commitment to improve quality teaching, and increase support to students as they move from school on to further education or employment.
This important support for the professional development of career practitioners will ensure high quality career education and advice is provided in schools, TAFEs and universities.
Further information on the Scholarships for Career Advisers program including a full list of recipients, is available at http://www.deewr.gov.au/scholarshipsforcareeradvisers
