We proudly announce that Nexus Inc. has won the prestigious Large Employer of the Year Award at the 2024 Tasmanian Training Awards.
Presented by Skills Tasmania, the Large Employer of the Year Award recognises large businesses and enterprises that have achieved excellence in providing nationally recognised training to their employees.
We want to thank and acknowledge all our staff, whose dedication to continuous learning and passion for supporting our clients has made this recognition possible.
The Tasmanian Training Awards were held in Launceston on Friday, 6 September and our CEO Mark Jessop and our former Customised Employment client, Britney accepted the award and represented Nexus on the stage.
Nexus CEO Mark Jessop was delighted that Nexus received the award, noting that it was great that a not-for-profit could compete with the commercial organisations in this category and that the award is a testament to Nexus’ investment in quality training for all staff.
Nexus’ win highlighted the organisation’s dedication to ensuring clients’ unique support needs are recognised and appropriately supported.
“The support we provide to our clients is not one-size-fits-all, so our training should not be one size-fits-all”, Mark said when accepting the award.
“People living with disability have a right to quality support, and the only way to ensure this is through proper training.”
Alongside industry standard training, Nexus offers tailored training to staff in areas such as Autism, trauma informed support, and leadership. Nexus staff have noted greater confidence in supporting clients after undertaking training specific to the client’s needs.
We also want to congratulate our staff member Ben O’Brien, who was a finalist for the Vocational Student of the Year Award in what was a highly competitive category.
Nexus will now be nominated for Employer of the Year at the Australian Training Awards to be announced in Canberra in December.
