Get ready for the - New Zealand Electrical Conference 2025
After visiting 12 locations and traveling the length of New Zealand, the 2024 Master Electricians Apprentice Challenge, in association with Etco, has once again broken records with over 340 apprentices registered. A huge thank you to all the apprentices for stepping up to the challenge and to their employers for providing the opportunity.
