The annual Master Electricians Apprentice Challenge has wrapped up for another year, showcasing the incredible skills and talent of the next generation of electricians.
Aotea was proud to see a strong group of apprentices step up to compete alongside one another, and against other talented electrical apprentices from across New Zealand as a part of the Master Electricians Apprentice Challenge. Congratulations to all those who took part.
The event was a great showcase of the next generation of electricians and their real commitment to developing their skills and growing within the industry.
Behind these achievements is the fantastic support of Aotea workplaces and teams across the country. Mentorship, encouragement, and the sharing of knowledge all play a vital role in guiding apprentices as they grow in confidence and capability.
We’re already looking forward to seeing our apprentices back in action next year and continuing to showcase the strength of Aotea talent on the national stage.
