Baseball Australia’s nomination came from the largest applicant pool in the awards’ 53-year history, according to the ECA. The finalists came from a diverse group of companies that embody the range of sectors active in the Australian economy today.
This year, BA is recognised in a different area of the business with the Education and Training Award, which is given out annually to the company that shows “outstanding success in the field of education and training services, expertise and curriculum, including vocational training.” That sense of training originates in the Major League Baseball Australian Academy Program, which provides young baseballers from the entire region expert coaching to help them succeed in professional baseball around the world. Since 2013, 27 Australian-born baseball players have signed professional baseball contracts.
Through its investment in the Australian Baseball League, BA and its affiliated institutions serve not only as a place to develop Australian talent but also as a prime training ground for the best young baseball players in the world.
“The Academy is not just about molding Australia’s next crop of young baseball talent, it’s about serving as a hub to train baseball players for success on the global stage at the highest levels abroad, which takes physical and intellectual preparation,” Baseball Australia CEO Brett Pickett said.
“Companies such as Baseball Australia confirm that these awards are important to the industry, in terms of recognising excellence in the field of international trade,” said Lisa McAuley, Chief Executive Officer for the Export Council of Australia. “We wish them the best of luck for the announcement on the 28 October in Sydney.”
Baseball Australia faces five other institutions in the category: the Australian Institute of Higher Education, the Australian Institute of Professional Education, Kincoppal-Rose Bay School of the Scared Heart, Sydney TAFE and University of Wollongong Enterprises.
The winners will be announced at the formal awards ceremony on Wednesday, 28 October at The Star, in front of guests of honour Premier of NSW the Hon. Mike Baird and the Hon. Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Minister for Sport.
