The Rotary Club of Gerringong Sunrise is offering a new award for young community members who are looking to expand their horizons. The Apprentice Encouragement Award is intended to help the community and support locals. 

The award offers $3000 over three years and is open to anyone starting an apprenticeship or already an apprentice. Applicants must reside in the postcode 2534 and applications close on 27 January 2024.

The Gerringong Rotary Club has previously supported young people in advancing their careers in science, engineering and research. However,  there is a notable lack of skilled tradespeople in the country and the club is eager to support anyone committed to their trade career path. Practical skills will help to serve our community. 

The club hopes the award will grow to eventually support three students in a few years by gaining employee interest and support in the project. 

Members of the Rotary Club noticed a lack of skilled tradespeople in the nation and decided on a course of action to get involved. Practical skills can only serve to help the community 

If you are starting your apprenticeship or are already an apprentice and would like more information please contact the project manager, Pam, at [email protected] or Robert at 0404061130
