Apprentice of the Year 2009

Entries are now open for the Registered Master Builders Apprentice of the Year 2009, in association with Carters.

The Department of Building and Housing is the ‘supporting sponsor’ of the competition, which:

• recognises excellence among young carpentry apprentices
• raises awareness of career opportunities in the building and construction industry.

‘The Department is committed to working with the building sector to lift skills and raise productivity,’ says Nigel Bickle, Deputy Chief Executive, Sector Capability.

‘Our support for this competition is part of that commitment.’

Entrants will compete for thousands of dollars in prizes and be graded by a panel of judges.

The closing date for entries is 31 July 2009.
