Since the first awards ceremony 10 years ago, the Construction Industry Training Council has recognised 299 outstanding graduating apprentices and trainees and has provided 36 encouragement awards. These awards provide an opportunity for the construction industry to specifically reward outstanding work done by local graduating apprentices.

I would also like to acknowledge the major sponsor of the awards, the Capital Training Institute; gold sponsors, Holcim; the ACT Building and Construction Training Fund Authority; and the numerous other businesses and organisations who support the awards.

Other award winners were Jamie Gianchou, for bricklaying; cabinet making, Matt Tindale; commercial-residential cadet, Trystan Warn; heavy vehicle diesel mechanic, John Reid; formwork carpentry, Adriano Siveiro; and glass and glazing, Matthew Jones. The Indigenous award went to bricklaying, James Hill; landscaping, David Moon.
