Finalists for the 2023 NT Training Awards have been announced, highlighting the bright future of the Territory’s workforce and the important work to improve our skills and training programs.
Recognising excellence in Vocational Education and Training for individuals, businesses and organisations, the 68th instalment of the Northern Territory Training Awards celebrates our best and brightest students, apprentices, trainees, teachers, trainers, training providers and employers.

The 2023 finalists represent a wide range of industries including health, conservation, electro technology, mechanical, mining, beauty services, cookery, fitness, early childhood, business and IT.

Nominations were received from across the Territory including Alice Springs, Darwin, Katherine, Nhulunbuy, Numbulwar, Batchelor and Marrakai.

VET plays an important role in future proofing our workforce and helping develop our local capacity, enabling Territory businesses to adapt and grow, and take advantage of new opportunities and support the economic development of the Northern Territory.

Winners will be announced at the gala awards dinner on Saturday, 2 September in Darwin. Tickets for the gala dinner are now available for purchase from trainingawards.nt.gov.au
