Two South Burnett finalists have brought home trophies from the Darling Downs and South West Region finals of the Queensland Training Awards, held on Friday night in Toowoomba.
Tarong Power Station employee Chloe Chudleigh was presented with the prestigious Bob Marshman Trainee of the Year regional award.
Chloe completed a Certificate IV in Business at Stanwell Corporation through the corporation’s apprentice and trainee program.
She initiated the automation of vehicle checks via a QR code which helped Stanwell transition into a paperless environment.
Chloe also has a passion for volunteering and promoting opportunities for women in the resource industry by taking leadership roles, such as with the Inclusion and Diversity Tarong Power Stations Working Group.
The second South Burnett winner was Sabastian Fisher who completed a Certificate I in Workplace Skills through SkillCentred at Cherbourg.
Sabastian was presented with the Equity Student of the Year regional trophy.
Seven other South Burnett finalists (see list, below) were presented with finalists’ certificates.
The regional winners will now go on to compete at the State Final in September and the opportunity to compete for national titles at the Australian Training Awards in November.
