GoSkills announces its Passenger Transport Awards for 2008

GoSkills, the sector skills council for passenger transport, in partnership with the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), has announced details of its 'Go for Excellence Passenger Transport Awards'.

The awards, the third such event to be hosted by GoSkills, are designed to recognise outstanding achievements by apprentices and other learners working in the sector. The award ceremony will take place at Lord's Cricket Ground on Thursday 13 November 2008.

GoSkills is calling on sector employers to nominate staff they believe have made - through their own training and development - a significant contribution to their business. Application forms will be available from the beginning of May.

The awards will feature two separate elements - Apprenticeships and Achiever of the Year. The Apprenticeships element contains three categories: Rail – Engineering and Operations; Aviation; and Transport Engineering and Maintenance. The second element, Achiever of the Year – features three categories: NVQ/SVQ Achiever of the Year; Management & Leadership Achiever of the Year, and Basic Skills Achiever of the Year.

Stephen Gardner, Director of Apprenticeships at the LSC, commented: "We are delighted to support these Awards which celebrate Apprenticeships and other training successes within the passenger transport sector.

The LSC's role is to plan, fund and promote apprenticeships and we are pleased to sponsor schemes such the GoSkills Passenger Transport Awards, which encourage quality in achievement and delivery of apprenticeships across the UK. We also look forward to seeing those successful in the GoSkills Awards progress to the 2009 National Apprentice of the Year Awards run by the LSC."
