Congratulations to one of our Certificate II in Rail Infrastructure School-Based Trainees, Adam, on being selected as a finalist in the 2026 WA Training Awards for WA School-Based Apprentice of the Year.
Adam was also recognised as Apprentice/Trainee of the Year at the Port Hedland Chamber of Commerce Industry Business Excellence Awards in June.
A big thank you to Category 5 Labour Management and BHP Western Australia for the support, leadership, guidance and mentoring they have provided throughout Adam's traineeship. We would also like to acknowledge our trainers for their ongoing commitment to delivering quality training and assessment, helping our trainees develop the skills and confidence needed for a successful career in the rail industry.
We would also like to extend our thanks to Hedland Senior High School for the fantastic VET program they deliver and for their ongoing coordination and support of school-based traineeships. Partnerships like these play a vital role in creating meaningful pathways from school into industry.
Congratulations, Adam, on these outstanding achievements. We wish you all the best for the WA Training Awards in September and look forward to seeing what the future holds for you. Well done!
