Three PAC apprentices receive PlaceMakers support to take study and qualification to the next level

Thanks to PlaceMakers, three PAC members will be receiving financial support to further their studies or qualifications through PAC’s ‘Graduates Branching Out Scholarship’. This is the first year that PAC has run the programme and it is proud to announce the first three recipients:

  • Gabriel Delgado, a BCITO apprentice from Queenstown, applying to become a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) so he can eventually start his own company.
  • John Matthews, an ITAB apprentice from Auckland, undertaking a ‘Diploma in Applied Technology (Building)’ to further his qualifications and improve his skills in the trade.
  • Sam Hack, a BCITO apprentice from Christchurch, completing a ‘Certificate in Construction (Supervisor)’ to expand his knowledge and advance within the industry. Sam is working towards a site foreman position, including project management as a start.

What is the PAC scholarship about?

The scholarship aims to ease the financial burden for graduated building and construction apprentices (existing PAC members), who wish to take their qualification to the next level and study further. It covers course-related expenses such as the course fee itself, plus any related learning materials. The next round of scholarship applications will re-open on 1 November 2018. More information is available via the PAC online hub pac.placemakers.co.nz.
