So this is an Australian based inititative, but I believe a timely message for anywhere in the world. Here in Australia, National Skills Week runs from August 26 – September 1, 2013. As it states on the website:
National Skills Week now in its third year will again set out to bring to life the positive messages, highlighting the talents, the skills, the career pathways and the value of apprentices and trainees across Australia to the wider public and employers. The week is dedicated to raising the status of practical and vocational learning.
For me, the horse industry is an important one to stay up to date on skills, tools and education.
Often it is difficult to improve your education in the industry and fund this or continue to earn an income. For those in Australia pursuing an equine trade, it may be worth keeping an eye on the Tafe Directors Australia website where details regarding scholarships for TAFE skills can be applied for. Skills week showcases the importance of vocational skills and practical learning.
The site will detail educational facilities that are taking part by hosting events over the National Skills Week. Check it out!
