Jacqui Boaden, a local Trainer and Assessor at NV College, is a finalist for VET Trainer/Teacher of the Year for the 2024 North Coast and Mid North Coast Regional Training Awards.
Karen Busby, General Manager, NV College said, ‘Jacqui really deserves this recognition. She constantly delivers high levels of training and assessment services in community and hospitality; she is innovative and holds the importance of what she’s doing in changing other people’s lives in the highest regard. She is a role model in our team.’
Jacqui said, “I’m honoured to have been nominated! Over the past three years I have had opportunity to develop and apply skills and support that assist our students in employment and education – this makes me very proud! Having this recognised by industry professionals feels like a fantastic achievement.”
Due to her skills and natural attributes, Jacqui is also a coach for new trainers. She is currently involved as a coach and trainer in the new NV College trainer scholarship program.
Gurrja Anderson, completed her training with Jacqui at NV College and has been engaged as a Trainee Care Support worker by Legacy in Coffs Harbour said,
“Jacqui, is very understanding and showed she cared more about the individual, rather than just trying to get the point of the lesson across.”
“Jacqui is honest about what the job role might be like and didn’t sugar coat it. Her classes are interesting, and the activities were fun. She gave each person in the class attention and helps them understand in their own way and learn at their pace.”
This is a yet another great achievement for the local college, who are growing from strength to strength, with a new, bigger, and more comfortable premise opening in Coffs Harbour earlier this year and offering studying options from Coffs to Kempsey.
Congratulations to Jacqui for this recognition. The winner will be announced on Friday 21st June 2024 at an award ceremony in Bryon Bay.
