Apprentice skill slump puts NZ out of big world contest New Zealand Herald
Carpentry, plumbing, bricklaying and electrical wiring were the main areas of concern in the building industry, but the trend was also seen in other skill categories.
Plumbing was withdrawn from national competition in 1995, no carpenters had met the international standard since 1997 and the bricklaying category did not run last year.
Until 1997, New Zealand representatives in the world finals for electrical wiring had finished not lower than sixth and had won two silver medals and three diplomas of excellence. Since then no competitor had been good enough to qualify.------------------------------------------- posted 8:26 AM :: reference link ::
