Forty attendees celebrated the graduation of nine of Marlborough’s newest qualified tradespeople at the inaugural BCITO Apprenticeship graduation evening at Scenic Hotel Marlborough on May 1.
Local employers and families gathered to recognise the hard work and dedication of those graduating with Mayor Nadine Taylor passing on her admiration for the ceremony.
“Marlborough is a region poised for growth and construction makes up the fourth-largest industry here. There are a number of exciting projects on the way that all need workers and we’re delighted that you’ve chosen Marlborough in which to pursue your trades.”
Andrew Donohue, GM, education & diversity group at BCITO made the trip down from Wellington to acknowledge the graduates.
“It was an enjoyable time celebrating those who have achieved their qualifications in the construction industry, and great to see the Blenheim community get behind it.”
