Congratulations to our School Based Trainee Bethany Hahesy, who has been named the Sydney Region Winner of the VET in Schools Student of the Year at the 2010 NSW Training Awards.
Bethany is a busy Year 12 student, managing to juggle her HSC studies with completing her School Based Traineeship in Certificate II Business Services, hosted by On Track Injury Consulting.
Bethany says the experience of completing her school-based traineeship while studying for her HSC has been invaluable.
“Being exposed to the workforce and the functioning of a business has allowed me to understand the importance of prioritising and time management’ she says.
“The combination of HSC study, TAFE study and on-the-job experience means I feel very well equipped to confidently face the next stage of my career path upon completion of my HSC”
After an impressive presentation the Sydney Region interviewing panel, competing in a strong field of candidates, Bethany came out on top as the Sydney Region VET in Schools Student of the Year.
She will now go forward to compete at the state level in her category for the 2010 NSW State Training Awards. Good luck Bethany!
