Our Award Winning female apprentices.
Each year at Master Builders we nominate our talented apprentices for awards events to highlight their hard work and dedication to their apprenticeship. In 2022, we are celebrating 3 award winners.
Here’s what some of our female apprentices have to say about their experience.
“I had a really positive work experience which has resulted in me securing a full-time apprenticeship with House to Home Constructions. I got to work in a beautiful part of the central coast on a large residential property. Over the two days I got to do a lot of different jobs and there was plenty of variety. My training employer Greg was really easy to get along with and very supportive. The other apprentices on site were also accepting and very easy to talk to and shared their stories with me”
