Anne Galbraith, Chief Executive of SECTT, said: “Congratulations to all the apprentices who took part in the competitions – they should be very proud of their efforts. “These competitions are such a
good experience and the camaraderie among the competitors, as well as the commitment and effort they put in on the day, never fails to amaze me.” First and second-stage apprentices took on the 2019 Apprentice of the Year challenge – which has been updated to fall in line with UK Skills and SECTT’s eMAC contest for third-stage trainees. The competitors’ exercise involved
PVC conduit and trunking for a lighting circuit. The first-stage apprentices surface clipped PVC twin and earth cable while second-stage candidates surface clipped a steel wire armoured cable for a radial socket circuit. The first heat was held at Moray
