School-Based Apprentice of the Year - Jaynaya Miller - Certificate III in Business
|
Jaynaya enrolled in a Certificate III Business that was designed specifically for Aboriginal students. Through her training provider, AEN Member Skillinvest, she undertook work at the Warrnambool Police Station.
Driven to succeed, Jaynaya juggled school, two jobs and her course. Now she’s passionate about a career in the police force and because she knows the internal workings of the station and programs, she feels it will help her in the application process.
The SBAT was a journey of self-discovery for Jaynaya as she found her passion which solidified her career goals.
Jaynaya is also deeply involved with her Aboriginal community and has become the strong voice for the girls who don’t have the confidence but want to achieve change. She mentors them to speak up and express their needs and goals. Her leadership resulted in her winning the 2021 Kalay Academy Camp Leadership Award, and she represented Skillinvest and Victoria Police.
