Building and construction is the fastest growing sector in the country and currently show no signs of slowing. That means finding a high-paying, secure job in construction is easier than ever before, especially if you’ve completed an apprenticeship.
Today, the New Zealand construction industry is severely lacking in motivated and trained younger workers. That means skilled apprentices in construction are highly sought after and will almost certainly secure employment immediately after completing their apprenticeship.
At NZA, we work hard to make sure our apprentices receive quality training in the most relevant building and construction skills. This means completing an NZA apprenticeship will allow you to further your career in building and construction a whole lot more easily.
