FITEC Graduation!

Last Friday - 2 July. I went along to photograph the FITEC Graduation that was held in the Far North in my home town of Awanui. For those of you that are not sure what Fitec is (as I was as well at the start!) here is a bit of info:

FITEC is the industry training organisation for Forest establishment, silviculture and harvesting, Saw milling, solid wood processing, wood panels manufacturing, pulp and paper manufacturing and tissue converting and Furniture!

Fitec offers nationally recognised qualifications and helps more the 7,500 people each year gain the knowledge and skills they need for productive and rewarding careers. Most of this training happens on the job as Fitec trainees learn while they are earning wages or a salary.

You can find out more about Fitec at www.fitec.org.nz


The trainees that graduated at the Fitec Far North regional ceremony were from Sobieski Contractors (Awanui). Morton Logging 2088 Ltd (Kaitaia). Juken New Zealand Ltd - Triboard (Kaitaia)

It was so wonderful to see all of the proud Northland families together and the trainees that were presented their certificates for all their hard work and affort!

Great stuff!

I will just share a few photos of the evening, to view more photos and also photos from previous years Click here

Wacky Wednesday!
