Regional award for Sea Swift employee
SEA SWIFT customer service officer Jadzia Dalamaras is celebrating after being named Bob Marshman Trainee of the Year at the Tropical North Queensland regional final of the 2021 Queensland Training Awards.
The 19-year-old who this year completed her Certificate III in Business, will now travel to the state gala dinner in early September where it’s hoped she will be named the state’s top trainee.
Ms Dalamaras was thrilled to be recognised with the award and said she hoped it would improve her future career aspirations.
“I watched the announcement live on YouTube at my work computer with a couple of my colleagues, and was shocked when my name was read out,” she said.
“I never thought I could achieve this, but one of my mottos is you’ve got to shoot your shot, because you never know what you can achieve.”
Sea Swift chief executive Dr Rochelle Macdonald said Ms Dalamaras fully deserved the recognition.
“Since Jadzia came on board at Sea Swift, she has demonstrated the highest standard of customer service, all while completing her Certificate III in Business,” she said.
“She continually shows exceptional dedication in making a success out of her new career in the maritime industry.
“Jadzia is highly regarded by everyone at Sea Swift, and we’re delighted she has received this well-deserved award. She has a very bright future.”
Sea Swift is one of the largest employers in Far North Queensland with more than 400 staff on the books.
