Apprentice scholarships from Masterton Trust Lands Trust
The training and career plans of three local apprentices have been given a boost after being awarded Masterton Trust Lands Trust (MTLT) Tenant Apprentice Scholarships.
The scholarships are available to apprentices working for tenants of MTLT to assist them with industry training fees. Worth up to $1000 each, the scholarships are part of the Trust’s education grants programme.
The recipients of the latest round of scholarships work for local businesses in the flooring and automotive engineering industries. The scholarship recipients are: Wayne Bowater (TRC Toyota), Ben Delegat (Carpet Court) and Brady Thomson (Motorworks Mechanical and Electrical).
Recipient Ben Delegat is in the first year of a three-year carpet and flooring installation apprenticeship. Mr Delegat said he was “surprised and really happy” when he heard he had been awarded a scholarship.
“The scholarship will be a huge help towards my training fees and buying the tools I need for my job,” he said.
Applications for the next round of Tenant Apprentice Scholarships close in February. For more information about the scholarships visit: mtlt.org.nz....
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
