Skills Highway Award

Success deserves recognition. And success in workplace literacy training is being recognised - and celebrated - with the Skills Highway Award, established in 2009.

Sponsored by the Department of Labour, the award celebrates workplaces that can show how they have helped improve their employees' reading, maths and communication skills and therefore improved business outcomes.

The award is part of the annual Equal Employment Opportunities Trust (EEO Trust) 'Work and Life Awards' and is open to businesses of all sizes. The winners showcase leading businesses that succeed because they're helping their employees to succeed.
