Home » 2024 Awards For Excellence – Finalists

This year, the nominated candidates from our eligible Group Training Organisations were again extremely competitive, especially in the Apprentice of the Year category.  As always, the judges had a tough time selecting the finalists but had great pleasure in reading the inspiring work achievements 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.
