Entries are open for the NZ Certified Builders’ Apprentice Challenge. The competition includes building a project – the details of which are released to competitors a week before the regional heats.
Each competitor has eight hours to complete that project and their work is judged by a panel looking for craftsmanship, assembly, ability to work to a detailed plan, safe working technique and time management.
The projects made by the apprentices are sold to raise money for the NZ Certified Builders (NZCB) Apprentice Trust, which supports Apprentice Network members by providing access to scholarships and grants. Network members can sign up for the challenge at no cost. For those not employed by an NZCB builder and enrolled in the Apprentice Network, there is a $50 entrance fee which also goes to the NZCB Apprentice Trust.
Regional heats are on April 6, with prizes up for grabs and the winners going on to compete for the title of national champion in June. Entries must be in by Friday, March 25. Info: https://apprenticechallenge.nz/
