1300apprentice awards 2023
🌟 Our brilliant winners have been presented with their well-deserved awards! 🌟
Thank you for pushing boundaries and setting the bar higher! Your hard work doesn’t just win you awards; it builds our future! 🚀 You’ve earned every bit of this recognition.
Celebrate all the achievements
The annual 1300apprentice awards are an opportunity to recognise the outstanding achievements of apprentices and trainees who have demonstrated commitment, dedication, and skill in their chosen fields.
This year, we received a record number of applications across nine categories.
The judges were thoroughly impressed by the dedication, teamwork and commitment displayed by all nominees. It was a tough decision as each nominee showcased outstanding qualities, however, our winners truly stood out for their exceptional commitment to their apprenticeship, their ability to inspire others and their desire for excellence.
Celebrate the support
These awards wouldn’t be possible without the support of our host employers who provide the day-to-day training, supervision, and guidance that our shared apprentices and trainees need to succeed. With your support, apprentices and trainees can achieve their very best. Thank you.
1300apprentice would like to thank our major sponsor MEGT Apprenticeship Network Provider and partnering RTO Australian College of Commerce and Management who have been supporting our awards for the past several years.
We congratulate these remarkable apprentices and trainees for their contributions and achievements. They truly represent the future of their industry.
Congratulations to all winners, runners-up and finalists.
