Last call for entries in 2012 Apprentice of the Year

Carpentry apprentices are encouraged to get in quick for the Registered Master Builders Carters 2012 Apprentice of the Year with entries due to close on Thursday, June 28.

With more than $100,000 in prizes up for grabs, including places on a specially designed Outward Bound Leadership Programme for regional winners, the competition is well worthwhile.

Apprentice of the Year aims to reward and celebrate exceptional carpentry training, with events held in regions across the country, culminating in a National event in Wellington in October.

For further information, or to download an entry form, apprentices can go to www.apprenticeoftheyear.co.nz. Entry forms can also be collected from Carters stores nationwide.

Apprentices, employers and young people aspiring to be a part of the construction industry are encouraged to join up to the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/apprenticeoftheyear.
