Trade Teacher Awards

About the Awards

NECA’s Trade Teacher Award is intended to recognise the outstanding contribution made by trade teachers in continuously raising the standard of education and training in our industry.

NECA directly employs thousands of apprentices through its group training schemes and represents the employers of tens of thousands of electricians throughout Australia. As such, NECA has a large interest in not only the quality of training but also the commitment and motivation of the teachers and mentors.

Applicants for the Trade Teacher Award will be assessed in three key areas:

• Excellence in teaching
• Innovative practice
• Client satisfaction – both learners and employers.

Also, to be eligible, applicants must be currently employed by either a public or private registered training organisation and teach technical subjects as part of the Electrical Trades course.

The successful applicant receives a prize of $5,000 made up of both cash and professional development allowance and it is announced in conjunction with NECA’s National Excellence Awards.  The prize is generously donated by the ElectroComms Foundation.
