In recognition of the commitment and passion demonstrated by South Australia’s apprentices, NECA SA are proud to present the 2011 Apprentice Awards. Nominating your apprentice is easy and a great way to show your employee (ie apprentice) just how much they mean to you and your business.

A symbol of Excellence, the Awards recognise aspiring apprentices for their commitment to the trade, achievements in training, knowledge and future vision for the industry.

State winners will be announced at the 2011 NECA Industry Dinner, held at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Friday 12 August 2011.

Winners from South Australia will go on to compete at the National level where they will be vying for the title of the most outstanding apprentice in their industry sector and the National title of the 2011 Apprentice of the Year.
