In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Rheem Australia has selected 75 successful applicants of a Rheem Apprentice Plumber Grant.
The grants are a part of the Rheem Apprenticeships and Youth Scheme (RAYS) which aims to assist apprentices and young people to achieve their dreams and career objectives.
The Rheem Apprentice Plumber Grants are designed to thank the Australian plumbing industry for its ongoing support and to invest in its skills future.
The $1,000 grants have been awarded to apprentice plumbers most in need of additional financial assistance and to help them pursue their chosen career.
“These grants are a token of Rheem’s appreciation for young and mature age apprentices entering the industry. We hope the grants will give them a better chance to succeed. We would like to thank the many hundreds who applied for a grant and also the trainers and employers who supported them,” says Matt Sexton, CEO Rheem Australia.
“Our panel of independent industry experts was extremely impressed with the very high standard of applications. It’s clear that many apprentices are doing it tough and have made considerable financial and personal sacrifices to enter the trade. The level of passion, dedication and commitment demonstrated by today’s plumbing apprentices is to be commended,” he added.
