We are excited to partner with Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO) as the main sponsor for the 2025 Apprentice Challenge. Over several decades, NZCB builders have established a deep trust with BCITO to help progress the careers of their apprentices.  

BCITO is New Zealand’s leading building and construction apprenticeship provider. They are proudly New Zealand owned and with a 34-year track record, they are a trusted partner in the sector, delivering over 55,000 trade qualified professionals in 16 different trades.  

We’re also grateful to Mitre10 for their support as materials sponsor for the Apprentice Challenge. Not only will they supply all the material our apprentices need to complete their projects, many of the regional events will be held at Mitre10 stores around the country. We’ve had Mitre10 involved with apprentice events at Conference in previous years, and it’s fantastic to have them back. This year, Mitre10 is also sponsoring the national 1st place prize and, together with Makita, providing prizes for regional winners.
