What's in it for You

Apart from the fantastic prizes, previous Apprentice of the Year entrants have said they've gotten the following out of entering:

A chance to compare themselves against other apprentices to see how they measure up
Recognition of their skills, which is valuable for future employment opportunities
A head start on business skills, through preparing the entry form, being interviewed and undertaking a site visit
Building confidence in themselves and their skills.

“I wanted the opportunity to get an idea of where I was at compared to my peers. Also, I knew that entering the competition would only make me a better apprentice by putting me to the test and making me work and study harder.” – 2017 Apprentice of the Year Vincent Hubbard
