PATHWAY TO APPRENTICE CHALLENGE
Regional Competition
The 2025 competition focuses on your hands-on building skills and your ability to connect with your community. Here’s how it works:
-
Design Concept: One month before the Regional Build Competition, you will receive a design concept. This will guide the project you’ll build in your region.
-
Community Engagement: You will find a deserving local community organisation to donate your finished project. You will document your process of engagement and create a presentation/ portfolio. This is more than just a build—it’s about giving back.
-
Build Plans: You’ll receive detailed build plans one week before the competition. Then it’s time to put your skills to the test!
National Challenge
At the NZCB Conference in June 2025, the top apprentices from across the country will gather to present their builds and community engagement stories. The best of the best will be crowned at the Apprentice Challenge Awards, with recognition for both technical skill and community impact.
This is your opportunity to shine as both a skilled professional and a community leader.
