NOMINATIONS are now open for the 16th annual Victorian Learn Local Awards, recognising excellence in the adult and community education sector.
Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp, invites locals to nominate people whose stories illustrate the life-changing impact of adult and community education.
“Our adult and community education system plays a vital role in helping Victorians build the skills they need for work and life – and the Learn Local Awards are a fantastic chance to recognise the lifechanging impact of the sector.”
“Learn Locals provide life-long learning opportunities to Victorians and build more connected communities – and if you know a Northern Victorian whose story illustrates excellence in the sector, we want you to nominate them for an award.”
The prize pool totals $84,000 while the organisation award category winners each receive $10,000, individual category winners $5,000, and category finalists $1,000.
Local not-for-profit, Shepparton Access, has been recognised by the awards previously for their work Creating Pathways into the Community.
Entries close June 10, or June 6 for those who require assistance. To explore award categories and make a nomination, visit www.vic.gov.au/learn-local-awards
