Skills grant for a top teacher

A Dandenong teacher is among 15 across the state to receive a VET training boost.
A Trainer and Assessor Academic Grant will provide Megan Turner, who teaches at Chisholm online, with up to $8000 towards a diploma or higher education qualification in Victorian Vocational Education and Training (VET) training and assessment.
“As well as financial support to undertake study, award recipients will receive significant on-the-job mentoring and professional development opportunities which will help them grow as VET teachers,” Training and Skills Minister Steve Herbert said.
The new State Government grants are part of a $1 million initiative to support high-quality teachers and followed last year’s Review of Quality Assurance in Victoria’s VET System.
