This is the third episode of the TAC Talk series on Amplifying Excellence in WA VET Through Award Winner Stories where we spotlight people making significant strides in vocational education and training (VET). This episode features Anthony Nelson-Burns, a remarkable individual who triumphed as the WA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year and reached the finals of the National Training Awards in 2023. Anthony's journey is a testament to resilience. He overcame challenges and personal setbacks to achieve success in the engineering field and finishing his apprenticeship early. Now, Anthony champions vocational training for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, advocating for culturally sensitive approaches that reduce barriers and create a welcoming learning environment for all. This episode may serve as a valuable resource for RTOs seeking further information on learning environments which promote and support the diversity of learners.
