Congratulations to our Jason Connor, who took out the 'Australian Transport & Logistics Young Achiever of the Year Award' at the 2012 Australian Freight Industry Awards.

Jason, currently studying our Master of Business (Supply Chain Management) course, received his award in recognition of outstanding performance in his role as Operations Manager at CC Containers.

The award was presented by The Hon Terry Mulder MP, Minister for Public Transport & Roads, at a ceremony held at the Palladium Ballroom, Crown Casino.

Congratulations, Jason!

Now, over to India, where VU Alum Professor Mukti Mishra, Chairman of the Centurion Group of Institutions, received the Roll of Honour certificate in the Skills Champion: Emerging Warrior category from the Federation of Indian Chambers if Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

The award was in recognition of extraordinary contribution in developing technologies, distinctive training solutions, path breaking research and commitment towards the skilling movement in India. This is the second FICCI award the Professor Mishra and the Centurion Group has won, the first one being for 'Best Skills Project in Rural Community' in 2010.
