Thousands of people across NSW enter the awards. Only 27 made it to the State Finals, and only three of those students were selected as finalists for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Category.
Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee praised the achievement.
"The NSW Training Awards pay tribute to the state's best apprentices, students, trainees, educators and training providers," Mr Lee said.
"These award recipients show how VET opens doors to many exciting and rewarding careers."
Jemasin will now head to Brisbane on the 21st November where she will represent NSW at the Australian Training Awards

Wollongong born and bred. I love reporting about the Illawarra region and have been doing it for more than 20 years. I've moved into sport recently after covering the education round for the last five plus years for the Illawarra Mercury. It's been a great pleasure.
