About NZA

We offer apprenticeships created to equip candidates with relevant, in-demand industry experience. Gaining a recognised qualification and quality training in construction has never been easier.

Your Partner for Success

In today’s business world, appropriate practical experience has never been more sought after. While degrees and study become increasingly popular, real-world onsite experience in the construction industry is falling. This reason alone makes an NZA apprenticeship an invaluable asset.

The NZA apprenticeship program works closely with businesses in the building and construction industry to provide our apprentices with practical experience that employers want to see.

Furthermore, as construction is one of the fastest growing industries in New Zealand, an apprenticeship provides a great pathway to job security, high-income opportunities and stability.

Partnering with host businesses all across New Zealand means that NZA is able to find the perfect position for you in a relevant host organisation, no matter what trade or where you are located in New Zealand.

What We Do

For Apprentices

NZA works to develop the skills of prospective apprentices with our national network of host organisations. We make it easier than ever to get into construction.

Assessing skills, education and work history allow us to pair apprentices with hosts that can guarantee wages, ensure a Level 4 NZQA qualification on completion and provide relevant industry experience.

For Hosts

We work with building and construction businesses all across New Zealand to seamlessly provide suitable, empowered and enthusiastic apprentices for placement within host businesses.

Our teams will assess all apprentices and deal with all documentation so all a host needs to do is train their apprentice.

The Industry Training Organisation (BCITO, SKILLS) will continually provide back up and support for the signing off on the apprentice’s work as he/she progresses along the apprenticeship journey.
