National Apprenticeship Week was a busy and rewarding week across our Ipswich and Milton offices, with plenty happening both in the office and behind the scenes.
Throughout the week, we ran daily giveaways to recognise the effort our apprentices put in every day. Each night, one apprentice received a $250 Total Tools voucher along with a Blue Dog × TradeMutt shirt. It was a simple way to acknowledge the commitment it takes to balance work, training and everything else that comes with an apprenticeship.
We also held drop-in events at both offices, inviting apprentices to come in after work, spin the prize wheel and spend some time with our team. It was great to see apprentices taking the opportunity to stop by, whether that was to enter the draw, ask questions, check in with their trainer or just say hello.
Weeks like this are a good reminder that apprenticeships are about more than qualifications. They’re about support, relationships and creating an environment where apprentices feel comfortable reaching out when they need guidance.
While National Apprenticeship Week is a chance to celebrate, our focus remains the same year-round, supporting apprentices through every stage of their training and helping them build long-term careers in the trades.
We appreciate everyone who took the time to get involved and help make the week a success.
