ITaB Third Year Apprentice Challenge
Open to all ITaB and Certified Builders third year apprentices
This Challenge is designed to bring all apprentices, employers and tutors
together for a positive experience at a practical level. It will then take you to the
next skills level – and slightly out of your comfort zone. The Challenge will build
character and give you confidence to try different things.
The Challenge... The APPRENTICE CHALLENGE FORM will be given out to all Third Year ITaB apprentices by Tutors at your
block courses. (The questions on the
forms are to be answered only by the
apprentice.)
Apprentices should return forms to tutors or ITaB.
Tutors collate all forms back and decide on 4 – 6 (maximum) finalists for practical exercise. (They will be chosen
by tutors and the ITM local store representative).
If you are not in an ITaB apprenticeship
course you will need to send your
application to:
CBANZ/ITaB
PO Box 13405
Tauranga Central
Tauranga 3141
Attn Apprentice Challenge
We will get it to the right
person in your region
for consideration to the
next stage.
Those who get to the next stage will
compete in the practical challenge.
If you are not enrolled with an ITaB
provider in your area, the CBANZ
regional team will work with the local
ITM store for the practical challenge.
You will be advised of the location, date
and time for this practical exercise by
mail if you reach this stage.

plans: Dog Kennel
This will be marked by tutors and
CBANZ builders. The top 10 apprentices go forward to
national finals in Queenstown.
These finalists need to complete a
portfolio of their work history, giving
examples in photos, references, and
supporting documentation of their
achievements to date from their
employer. (You will need to bring this
with you to the finals in Queenstown.)
The 10 Finalists will be flown to the
CBANZ Conference event for the final
part of the Challenge. All expenses will
be paid to Queenstown in June 2010. (The top 10 finalists will be notified by
mail).
Finalists will be assigned a workshop
speaker to introduce at Conference,
(you will be advised prior to
Conference who that speaker will be). You will need to do some research
on whoever you are assigned to introduce, an approx 2-3 minutes
intro. Nothing too scary! You will receive coaching and support during conference. The Apprenticeship Scholarship Trust (AST)
Board will meet all finalists in a panel
interview. The AST Board will judge and decide
the winners. The winners will be announced at the Saturday Night
Dinner Function at CBANZ Conference - Winner gets prizes and trophy. (Runner up also gets a prize).
All finalists will have a thrill factor to add to their experience, with the
opportunity of a bungy jump off AJ Hacketts World Famous Queenstown Jump!
You will be considered the ambassador
for your region at Conference, so big
brother will be watching you... but
hey, what an experience!
