New Zealand’s National Training Awards for 2013 open

Thursday 28 Mar 2013

 
The 2013 Forest and Wood Industry National Training Awards programme have started their search for the New Zealand forestry industry’s top performers. The best trainees/apprentices and companies in the forest, furniture and wood manufacturing industry can be nominated for the annual Awards through a nomination process which will culminate in the top finalist being selected for each award.

The Awards are a major annual event for the industry where people and businesses are recognised for their commitment to learning and the achievement of professional qualifications. The Awards programme is the initiative of FITEC, the industry training organisation for the forestry, wood, furniture and biosecurity industries.

This year the National Awards ceremony and dinner have linked into the major WoodEXPO 2013 event that will be running for wood products companies in Rotorua between 11-13 September. The idea is that those who will be travelling in specifically to attend the awards ceremony and dinner will be able to take in the EXPO exhibitions and workshops earlier in the day. WoodEXPO 2013 delegates and exhibitors will also like to add the Training Awards dinner to their own schedule to finish off what is going to be a particularly busy week in Rotorua.

Companies have until May 31 to submit a nomination form for their most talented apprentices/trainees for the awards which include in each sector Modern Apprentice of the Year, Trainee of the Year and Training Company of the Year. Other national awards include a general industry award for Outstanding Business Performance through People Development, FITEC Training Leader of the Year, a Health and Safety award and two education awards for top diploma student and top degree student.
The nomination form, eligibility and criteria are available on here.
