Central TAFE has signed up as an Event Sponsor for the 2009 National Disability Services Support Worker Awards that are being held at Burswood on 20th February.
This inaugural event aims to officially recognise the outstanding contribution made by support workers in enhancing the lives of people with disabilities.
The awards are being hosted by National Disability Services WA (NDS WA) with support from the Disability Services Commission.
NDS is a national industry association for disability services, representing over 600 not-for-profit organisations. It promotes the development of quality services and life opportunities for Australians with disabilities.
Managing Director Neil Fernandes is pleased Central TAFE has an opportunity to be associated with such a worthy event.
“The support workers working quietly behind the scenes in the disability sector are some of the ‘silent heroes’ making invaluable contributions to the community.
“We are proud to support an event that seeks to officially recognise their unwavering dedication to bettering the lives of others,” he said.
“The sponsorship also reflects our own commitment to this area of community services. We currently offer Certificate III and IV level qualifications in Disability Work for those seeking to enter this rewarding career path.”
