9 The HIA Apprentice Awards acknowledge, encourage and most importantly recognise the extraordinary talent of HIA Apprentices. HIA Apprentices hold annual award events in most states around Australia. These awards give host trainers the opportunity to nominate an apprentice they believe to be the most outstanding in their year. State winners then progress to the national HIA Apprentice Awards. HIA also values the contribution our host trainers make to training and mentoring the next generation of builders. The Host Trainers Achievement Award is open to all host trainers and HIA Apprentices are given the opportunity to nominate their host trainer. HIA Apprentice awards
