Shoalhaven City Council is proud to announce that two Council staff members received recognition at the highly esteemed Hunter Valley Training Company (HVTC)’s 2020 Excellence Awards.
Maddison Baccinelli has won the Milton Morris Encouragement Award, and Trainee Surveyor, Finlay Hegarty, has won the Trainee of the Year – Encouragement Award.
Maddison and Finlay will receive their award trophies at a ceremony in Newcastle later this year, once restrictions have been lifted.
Winners in the 13 Excellence Award categories were selected from finalists across HVTC’s ten regional branches located throughout New South Wales.
Maddison’s award was created last year to assist a first or second-year apprentice who is experiencing hardship and or in need of additional financial support.
The award is named after HVTC’s Foundation Chairman, Director and Patron, who championed the importance of vocational education and training in Australia to help ensure our nation’s economic future.
Maddison’s Supervisor Mario Savoca (Building Services- Structures Supervisor) said, “Maddison demonstrates an aptitude for vocational education and training and a positive attitude and application at work and in off-the-job training.”
“We believe she is a most worthy recipient of the award and are very happy that she has received some financial assistance with the award,” said Mr Savoca.
Finlay Hegarty’s Supervisor Melissa Dunn (District Engineer Central) said, “This award is a great testament to Finlay’s personality and dedication to his training. Last year he strove past a Certificate III to complete a Certificate IV in Spatial Surveying. Due to his outstanding work, his traineeship was extended this year and he is now studying for a Diploma in Surveying,”
“Finlay always happily undertakes any work challenges given to him. He is a great asset to our team,” said Melissa.
Shoalhaven City Council is committed to engaging, training and employing young people from the Shoalhaven and surrounding regions. These programs have proven successful and Council is proud to continue to invest in future generations.
