Frontline Human Resources (FHR) is proud to announce the return of the FHR Apprentice Awards & Graduation, to be held at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, 3 October 2025.
The event will shine a spotlight on the outstanding achievements of apprentices across the country, while also marking the graduation of this year’s talented cohort.
From first-year apprentices taking their first steps in industry, through to those completing their journey and stepping into full-time roles, the evening will showcase the commitment, resilience, and innovation that apprentices bring to their host employers and the wider trades sector.
“The FHR Apprentice Awards & Graduation is a recognition of the future of our industry. These apprentices are proving that with the right support, opportunity, and determination, there are no limits to what can be achieved,” said Paddy Courtney, National Manager (Apprentices and Trade Division).
The Awards also highlight the essential role of host employers, training providers, and industry partners in creating safe, supportive, and inspiring environments where apprentices can thrive.
