My Gateway Celebrates Its Apprentices & Trainees at Annual Awards

10 November 2019

Our annual Apprentice & Trainee Awards took place recently, celebrating the achievements and hard work of our apprentices, trainees and their host businesses.

The major awards went to Camden Council’s Mikayla Gauci, who took out the Overall Trainee of the Year, as well as Josiah Odonga, hosted to Icon Co., who won Overall Apprentice of the Year. You can find the full list of winners below. We have also uploaded all of the night’s photos to the My Gateway Facebook page.

“The awards celebrated the efforts and hard work of our apprentices, trainees and host businesses in 2019,” said Shelley Bullock, My Gateway’s Chief Executive Officer.

“Their success and achievements highlight the satisfying careers that begin with apprenticeships and traineeships.”

We would like to congratulate each of the winners, as well as the finalists for all their efforts and achievements in 2019. We would also like to thank each of the host businesses for supporting these apprentices and trainees in their nominations and throughout their employment.
