NECA 2020 Awards

It is with great disappointment that we advise the NECA 2020 Excellence Awards program in the ACT, NSW and TAS will be postponed until 2021.

In light of Government advice to limit mass gatherings due to the coronavirus pandemic, NECA has determined that the best course of action at this time is for the Awards to be rescheduled.

2020 NECA Apprentice Awards Submission

The 2020 NECA  Apprentice Awards Submission has been extended. These awards recognise excellence and the achievements of apprentices in the Electrotechnology industry in Australia. The awards are designed to recognise and reward apprentices and their employers for outstanding performance and commitment to the industry. This is an excellent opportunity for employers who have dedicated time, effort and resources to the future of our industry to gain recognition from their peers and from the community. Apprentices completing their 4th year and who meet the award criteria will be able to apply for this prestigious industry award

 
Eligibility

Applicants must be in their fourth year of TAFE or RTO or recently completed their apprenticeship (within 12 months from the completion date). During their apprenticeship, they must have been employed by a NECA member or a NECA group training apprentice company.

Applicants may only enter one category and must not have been previously nominated.
 
Judging and Criteria

Applicants will initially be assessed at a state level, with finalists being invited to an interview with a judging panel. State winners and any placegetters will be invited to collect their award at a state awards function, along with their employers who will also receive a certificate. State winners from each category will then be invited to submit a project to be judged for the NECA National Apprentice Awards.
