2026 ATEC Training Awards & Graduation Ceremony Sponsors
ATEC’s 2026 Training Awards & Graduation Ceremony is the premier event for ATEC’s trade apprentices, where the achievements of host employers, schools, and workplace apprentices are publicly recognised and celebrated. The Awards ceremony features 14 categories (25 awards), aiming to honour ATEC’s highest achievers academically, overall, and in special categories across carpentry, mechanical, fabrication, and electrical apprenticeships.
The drive and determination of South Australia’s future industry leaders in the construction and manufacturing sectors is on full display at ATEC’s 2026 Awards evening, and we’re thrilled to invite you to be a part of this celebration.
Recognising the hard work and commitment of our apprentices and the organisations that support them continues to build confidence, inspire excellence, and encourage ongoing achievement.
A key part of the success of the Awards is the invaluable support of our sponsors. Their contributions not only help make the event possible but also demonstrate a strong commitment to fostering the next generation of skilled tradespeople in South Australia.
By supporting ATEC and our apprentices, our sponsors play an essential role in encouraging industry excellence, providing opportunities for growth, and helping build a thriving workforce for the future. We are proud to partner with organisations that share our passion for recognising talent, dedication, and achievement.

SYC
At SYC, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to succeed. As a non-profit organisation, we invest back into the Australian community, supporting tens of thousands of people each year to create a life without disadvantage, build sustainable independence, and achieve wellbeing in all areas of life.
Founded in 1958 in Adelaide, South Australia, SYC began with a focus on supporting young people experiencing disadvantage. Over the past three decades, we’ve expanded our reach, providing services to people of all ages throughout Australia in housing, education, employment, justice, and disability support.
A cornerstone of SYC’s mission is our role as an Apprentice Connect Australia Provider. Our apprenticeship services are built on a deep understanding of the individuals we support and the industries we partner with. Our expert team works closely with both apprentices and employers, offering tailored support to ensure both parties' long-term success.
What sets us apart is our commitment to seeing the whole person. We take the time to understand each apprentice’s background, aspirations, and challenges, ensuring that the apprenticeship aligns not only with their skills but also their personal circumstances. This approach extends to our work with employers. We know businesses need apprentices who are qualified, motivated, and ready to contribute. By partnering with SYC, employers gain access to a team that works alongside them to recruit and develop apprentices who match their specific business needs, fostering a workforce that drives success.
When you partner with SYC, you’re not just investing in your business—you’re helping to create lasting change in the lives of some of our community's most vulnerable members. As a non-profit, we reinvest in initiatives that address critical social issues, including housing insecurity. Through our safe, affordable housing programs for young people and vital services at our youth hub, The Foundry, we provide essential support to those who need it most.
By choosing to work with SYC, you’re helping create lasting change. Our commitment to supporting individuals and fostering community wellbeing drives us to deliver sustainable, positive outcomes for all involved.
