On Monday 12 October, 25 apprentices graduated across five trades: Carpentry, Timber Structures, Painting & Decorating, Foundations, and Concrete & Civil Infrastructure.

The graduates came together to mark an important milestone in their training journey, celebrating the completion of their apprenticeships alongside their employers, family, friends, and Training Advisors. The event recognised not only the hard work and commitment of the graduates, but also the support networks that helped them reach this achievement.

Held at Bruce Pulman Park in Papakura, the ceremony provided an opportunity to acknowledge the dedication, perseverance, and skills developed throughout each apprentice’s training. It was a proud occasion for all involved, with graduates reflecting on their achievements and looking ahead to the next stage of their careers within the industry.

Congratulations to all 25 graduates on this significant accomplishment. We wish them every success as they continue to contribute to and strengthen New Zealand’s building and construction sector.
