The state government has honoured local businesses across Victoria for giving students vital on-the-job experience in the past year.

Multiskills Training in Werribee was among a list of honourees recently acknowledged for helping local students.

The company developed a package which allowed integration aids to accompany students to construction induction training.

Werribee MP Tim Pallas said, “we’re delighted to have an opportunity to thank these businesses and highlight their achievements in supporting students.

“The support of local businesses in providing hands-on experience and training for Victorian students has never been more important and we thank and celebrate those employers that support school programs.”

Education Minister James Merlino said, “we are investing in the future of all Victorians through a wide range of vocational programs which are connecting industry with the workforce of tomorrow.”
