Acknowledgement of country

Batchelor Institute would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereign people of the lands on which our campuses are located. As we share our knowledge, teaching and learning and engage in research practices within this Institution and/or conduct business with a variety of external agencies and organisations, we must always pay respect to the sovereign status of our hosts. May their Ancestors always be remembered and honoured, their Elders listened to and respected, all members treated with dignity and fairness — in the present and well into the future.

We also acknowledge and pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever with our hosts, custodianship of country and the binding relationship they have with the land. Batchelor Institute extends this acknowledgment and expression of respect to all sovereign custodians — past, present and emerging. By expressing Acknowledgement of Country we encourage all to extend and practice respect to all First Nations people wherever their lands are located.

NT Training Awards - LTP
Batchelor Institute’s A/Director VET Business Operations Robert Buttery (left to right), with category sponsor Hastings Deering’s NT Area Manager Rohan Skennar and Batchelor Institute CEO Leon Yeatman, accepts the Large Training Provider of the Year Award on 3 September 2022.

Batchelor Institute was announced Large Training Provider of the Year at the prestigious annual NT Training Awards during a gala event held on 3 September 2022.

The NT Training Awards recognise excellence in the Vocation Education and Training sector. This is the second successive year that Batchelor Institute has been honoured as Large Training Provider, after winning the category in 2021 as well as seeing other successes in 2020 and previous years.

Batchelor Institute has long been a leader in the VET sector for First Nations students. Over more than five decades, the Institute’s footprint has grown to include a large campus with residential blocks at Batchelor, a campus at the Desert Knowledge Precinct near Alice Springs, facilities at Charles Darwin University, and learning centres in remote communities across the NT.

Many of the Institute’s students live in remote locations and may be isolated from the services and opportunities available in regional centres, towns and cities. The Institute overcomes this tyranny of distance by delivering training in students’ home communities, as well as running workshops on campus where students are supported with a culturally safe and inclusive residential environment.

“We are very proud of the role Batchelor Institute plays in developing employment pathways, particularly for Indigenous people living in remote communities,” said Batchelor Institute CEO Leon Yeatman. “We deliver culturally appropriate training that offers a mix of studying at home and, alongside other Indigenous students, at our residential campus in Batchelor for short-term blocks.”

“Our students succeed because we understand their unique challenges to study, and we work with them to find solutions, giving them the best opportunity to graduate,” he added.

VET Lecturer Brenton Dawes, who has worked with Batchelor Institute since 2016 teaching Certificate II in Resources and Infrastructure Work Preparation (RII20120), Certificate II in Civil Construction (RII20720) and Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations (RII30820), was runner-up for VET Teacher/Trainer of the Year.

Building an Indigenous Workforce, a collaboration between Northern Transportables and Batchelor Institute, was runner-up for Industry Collaboration of the Year.

Batchelor Institute alumna Grace Wunungmurra of the Dhimurru Rangers was a finalist for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year.

As a result of the NT Training Awards win, Batchelor Institute will now go through for consideration as Large Training Provider of the Year at the Australian Training Awards, to be judged in Adelaide in November.
