NECA Skills Centre teacher wins Trade Teacher of the Year Award
Kevin Stevens has won the NECA (National Electrical and Communications Association) Trade Teacher of the Year Award for 2013. Stevens, a training coordinator at NECA Skills Centre Victoria, was presented with the award at a ceremony in Sydney last week.
With more than 40 years’ experience in TAFE and 370 Degrees/NECA Skills Centre, Stevens has a longstanding commitment to skills training.
The judges were most impressed by Stevens’ dedication to offering flexible study options to his students; he believes that training should be as hands-on and practical as possible, in order to meet the varying needs of students.
“Kevin is our most sought-after tutor. He is an asset to our team and a greatly respected member of staff,” said David Bentley, Campus Manager, Carlton North.
“We are very pleased to see him win this award. And we know that our students will be equally pleased to see Kevin’s commitment recognised.”
The awards present an opportunity for passionate trade teachers to be recognised and rewarded for their commitment to developing the talent entering the electrical industry. The most outstanding teacher is invited to receive the award at the Annual National Apprentice Awards ceremony and receives a prize of $5000.
