Home » 2023 Awards For Excellence – Finalists

This year we received 42 nominations from our eligible Group Training Organisation members. The nominated candidates were again extremely competitive, especially in the Apprentice of the Year category, that alone received 15 nominations.  As always, the judges had a tough time selecting the finalists but had great pleasure in reading the inspiring work and stories behind our awesome apprentices and trainees.
As a result of the judges combined scores, the following apprentices and trainees have been selected as finalists. We look forward to greeting you, your families, employers, field officers and hosts, at the award presentation ceremony in October.
