Lifetime Achievement Award for Industry Training

Recognises an individual who has made an extraordinary, sustained, and positive contribution to vocational training within New Zealand’s automotive, transport, logistics, and related industries.

This award honours someone who has dedicated a significant portion of their career to: developing people, lifting industry capability, championing apprenticeships and on‑job learning, building strong training cultures within workplaces and across the sector, influencing lasting improvements in training quality, safety, or professionalism.

It is not an annual performance award — it is designed for individuals whose contribution spans decades, has shaped the direction of their industry, and has left a lasting legacy for future learners, employers, and the broader vocational system.

You can enter yourself, submit an entry on behalf of a person you work with or represent, or nominate another individual.
