Congratulations to our Award Winners!

Award Winners for the 2025 ATEC Training Awards & Graduation Evening!

The ATEC Graduation & Awards Night, held on Friday, 28 March at the Adelaide Convention Centre, was a spectacular celebration of the hard work, skill, and dedication of South Australia’s top apprentices. This annual event recognises the state’s emerging talent across carpentry, mechanical, fabrication, and electrical apprenticeships, with 14 award categories and 23 individual honours presented on the night.

The awards highlight the drive and determination of some of South Australia’s future industry leaders, showcasing their achievements academically, on the job, and in special recognition categories. The event also pays tribute to the businesses and mentors who support these apprentices in their career development.

ATEC extends heartfelt congratulations to all award winners, finalists, and graduates who have demonstrated excellence in their respective fields. Their commitment to learning and professional growth is shaping the future of South Australia’s construction and manufacturing industries.

A sincere thank you is also extended to our valued sponsors, whose generous support makes this event possible. Their investment in the next generation of tradespeople ensures the continued strength of our industries.

The night featured distinguished guest speakers and industry leaders who reinforced the importance of training, skill development, and resilience in the trades. As South Australia’s demand for skilled workers continues to grow, ATEC remains committed to fostering the next wave of highly capable professionals.
