Deputy Premier and Training and Workforce Development Minister Liza Harvey said 29 finalists would be celebrated as they contested eight individual categories. "Being named as a finalist in the State's premier training awards is a great achievement and instils pride in all finalists as their efforts are being recognised at a high level," Ms Harvey said. "Their achievement is testimony to their dedication to training and a credit to the people and organisations which make up Western Australia's TAFE and training sector." Brendan Carlson is among four finalists contesting the coveted title of WA Apprentice of the Year. Having served in the Australian Defence Force for six years, Brendan focused his attention on an electrical trade, following in his father's footsteps. He is now in the final stages of an electrical/instrumentation apprenticeship. For Wayne Goedecke, starting a plumbing and gasfitting apprenticeship as a mature age student was a huge challenge. It has, however, opened up enormous opportunities and created a new future for his young family. The practical and logical nature of the electrical trade is what drew Thomas Hoffman to the industry. He also felt it suited his personality. Having now completed his electrical qualification, Thomas will work towards an electrical engineering degree. Chris Martin has his sights set on establishing a rewarding career an as automotive electrician/mechanic. To set himself on that path, Chris completed two apprenticeships, focusing on heavy commercial mechanical technology and automotive electrical technology. Winners of this year's awards will be announced at a presentation dinner on September 23 and each winner will receive $5,000 in cash or prizes. Winners may also be eligible to compete against the nation's best in the Australian Training Awards in Darwin in November. Fact File
