BBM Limited Scholarship Winners Announced

Dear WorldSkills Supporter,

BBM

BBM Awards have enabled hundreds of talented young Australians to visit Britain to gain further experience in their chosen pursuits. BBM aims to provide career and skills support to the youth of Australia. Its awards have become a highly respected and beneficial international pathway from WorldSkills Australia's National Competitions.

The first WorldSkills competitor to receive a BBM scholarship was in 1985. The scholarship was recognised as a valuable pathway for a National medalist because, like WorldSkills Australia, it focused on the aim of achieving global skills excellence.

In 2000 BBM Ltd became a prominent partner with WSA, and the two organisations jointly selected and granted scholarships to many young and skilled competitors upon the completion of each national competition.

BBM recipients from the WSA National Competitions have each proved their dedication to skill excellence in their chosen vocational field. The young Australians travel to the UK to participate in a two week Corporate Leadership Development Program where they test the limits of their mental and physical boundaries in tasks such as an expedition to the hills of North Wales and a sinking ship simulator.

Those who received the BBM Scholarship through WSA are able to enhance their career prospects, positively contribute to Australia's cultural and technical development and help maintain strong links with Britain. They are also able to travel, make life-long friends and have the experience of a lifetime!

Following their success at the 2008 WorldSkills Australia National Competition in Sydney,
the recipients of the 2009 BBM Scholarships are as follows:

  • Carlee Bamford – Western Australia
  • Josh Tunbridge - Illawarra
  • Chris Crouch - New England
  • Rolf Barfoed - Canberra
  • Anna Moran - Sydney West
  • Aaron Talbot - Riverina Murray
  • Daniel Moelder - Tasmania
  • Andrew Ringswandl - Tasmania
  • Amanda Allen - Sydney
  • Jeff Brown - Riverina Murray
  • Troy Savage - Sydney West
  • Kathleen Parker - Illawarra
  • Blake Conyers - Sydney
  • Tara Davies - Riverina Murray
  • Craig McVernon - Sydney
  • Nikita Block - South East South Australia
  • Chris Walker - Central Queensland

Congratulations to these 17 highly skilled individuals. All the best in your pursuit of excellence.
