Morgan Engineering has taken out the title of Small Employer of the Year at the 2022 NSW Training Awards held last month.
The Awards recognise the contributions made by vocational education and training students, teachers, and service providers.
Morgan Engineering were recognised for identifying the need for an apprenticeship program in line boring, which has no TAFE qualification or training.
In partnership with Gimbal Training, they developed a program which paved the way for growth in the engineering sector, and the Singleton region.
The program provides apprentices with both trade qualifications, specific skills, and experience, that is critical to their business.
Morgan Engineering Director and Line Boring Field Services Manager, Matthew Morgan said they were honoured to receive the award.
“We are proud to have Morgan Engineering recognised by the NSW Training Awards,” Matthew said.
“This award encapsulates the time and effort our team puts into education and training and our passion for what we do.
“We are big believers that training our own people is key to us growing our business and ensuring our core business values remain strong.”
Minister for Skills and Training, Alister Henskens congratulated all the award winners for making their mark in their respective categories, showcasing the many opportunities and pathways vocational education and training can offer people from all walks of life.
“Our award winners are the best in the State, and they will all go on to be strong ambassadors for vocational education and training in NSW,” Alister said.
“NSW has the most diverse economy in Australia, and the students, teachers and service providers represented at this year’s Awards are proof that our State’s training system is leading the nation.
“These are people and organisations who invest in their local communities, boost our economy, create new jobs, deliver better services and build a brighter future for NSW.”
Winners will represent NSW at the Australian Training Awards in November.
