Apprentice challenge
An Ashburton building apprentice has won the Mid-South Canterbury New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) Apprentice Challenge for 2022.
Scott Dallas, 22, a building apprenticeship at H2 Builders in Ashburton and the only entrant from Mid-South Canterbury, won the title after competing alongside Canterbury entrants in the event on April 9 at Hamptons ITM in Christchurch.
As well as winning the regional champion title, Dallas also won a $500 ITM voucher to redeem on trade tools and earned a place in the national final representing Mid-South Canterbury at the national final at the NZCB Annual Conference in Hamilton in November.
NZCB industry pathways and apprenticeship manager, Nick Matthews, said the competition highlighted the "high-calibre of passionate apprentices" training in the industry, following a record uptake of building apprenticeships in recent years.
Matthews said the events are a great opportunity to give the community an inside look at building apprenticeship training, and to celebrate those apprentices that have excelled in their field.

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
