Local apprentices & trainees had their hard work recognised at Aaron Violi MP’s Casey Apprentice & Trainee Awards.
10 local apprentices & trainees across a variety of fields were recognised at the ceremony at Chirnside Park Country Club on Thursday 20 November alongside employers, family and friends.
Mr Violi said it special to see so many local business owners nominate their apprentices and trainees to be recognised.
“It is so important our young people know that university is not the only pathway to success. My Casey Apprentice & Trainee Awards are about recognising the hard work of apprentices & trainees and encouraging our next generation of local trades,” Mr Violi said.
“It was fantastic to have employers attend the awards with their apprentices & trainees to recognise the impact they make to local businesses.
