Sonia Church is proof of life-long learning, recently winning Trainee of the Year for the Wide Bay/Sunshine Coast region.

She accepted her award at a function held by the Department of Education and Training. Sonia started her Certificate III Business Administration Traineeship with CADET in April 2008, working with Spiral Inc – a disability organisation in Nambour. At 35-years-old Sonia has proven that you can continue to learn and develop skills through life. As part of her acceptance speech, Sonia thanked her then Manager at Spiral, Kathryn Kalogerakis, for her support and encouragement. Kathryn is now Manager of STEPS’ Nambour Branch. Another STEPS/CADET trainee, 19-year-old Lydia Watson was a finalist in the same category and works for the Bank of Queensland in Maroochydore. She completed a Certificate III in Business Administration.
