Each year, HGT holds its Graduation and Awards Ceremony to recognise publicly the successful graduates of the past year. This is an excellent event designed to showcase our graduates and also those currently working towards a successful completion by presenting awards such as outstanding achievements and apprentice or trainee of the year (for each year level).

To encourage excellence in the industry we have created an award program to reward our outstanding performers. The award is presented every three months to both an apprentice and trainee. We are fortunate to have our reputable partner TRIMS sponsor this initiative with the award winner being presented with a voucher to purchase goods relating to their vocation from TRIMS to the value of $100.00.
