NECA Queensland Apprentice Awards 2011

The NECA Queensland Apprentice Awards were presented to the best and brightest apprentices of 2011.  These awards are for fourth (4th) year apprentices, or those who have recently graduated, who have demonstrated a commitment to developing a highly successful career in electrotechnology through excellence in personal development, academic study and workplace competency.  Held at the Royal on the Park Hotel on Friday 2 September, the winners were announed in front of representatives from the electrical industry, government, suppliers and the wider community.  NECA congratulates all the winners and state finalists.

The awards are offered in the following categories:

• Industrial

Attracting and retaining suitably qualified apprentices has become a significant challenge for employers and while many believe an increased wage would go a long way to overcome this issue, we at NECA, believe that recognition and career development issues are more crucial.

The NECA Apprentice Awards have been run for many decades to allow our young and bright electricians of the future to shine.
