Technician of the Year Award

Applications sought for national awards

Nominations are being sought once for the IOM3 Technician of the Year. Each year, the IOM3 makes two awards both of which are open to all those currently studying materials or minerals technology or related subjects and those who have completed such courses within the last two years. There is no age barrier!

The Technician of the Year Award consists of two separate prizes - the Higher Award and the National Award.

HIGHER AWARD Category A
Awarded to the best technician studying, or recently awarded, either:
a Higher National qualification, or
a Foundation / Ordinary degree.

The winner and the nominating educational establishment each receive £500, a certificate, and national and local publicity.

NATIONAL AWARD Category B
Awarded to the best technician studying, or recently awarded, either:
an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship, or
a BTEC/SQA National Certificate/Diploma, or
a City and Guilds Progression Award.

The winner and the nominating educational establishment each receive £250, a certificate, and national and local publicity.

Nomination forms are available from Pam Murrell at ICME or from Mrs Anita Horton at IOM3.

The forms include sections that should be completed by the candidate, their college and their employer.

The closing date for applications this year is Friday 27th August 2010 and those applicants shortlisted will be invited to London for interview during October.
