Newcastle Master Builders Apprentices

🛠️ Congratulations to Mia on completing her Carpentry Apprenticeship! 🛠️

"I'm really grateful for the experience and everything I learnt throughout my apprenticeship with MBA. My advice for future apprentices would be to stick with it, ask plenty of questions and take every opportuity to learn."

"It wasn't always easy, but it was defintely worth it,"

Mia is a great example of what can be achieved with determination and perseverance. It’s the will, not the skill. 💪

Well done, Mia! 👏🎉

It's feedback like this that makes it all worth it. What a privilege to support the people making the construction industry what it is🤝

🥶 Check out some of our apprentices rugged up and taking on the winter grind on site!
To every apprentice grinding through winter and every host employer keeping the industry moving and turning up day after day - we appreciate you 👏

This time last week, our team had the opportunity to visit the students in the Clontarf Foundation at Toronto High School to talk all things employment and trade careers👷🔨
From application and interview tips to exploring the different construction trades and where they can lead, it was a fantastic opportunity to share our knowledge and help students feel more confident about their future career pathways.
The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men, and we're grateful to have been invited to speak with their students.

If your school has students interested in a career in construction, we'd love to come and speak with them. Reach out to our team via email to arrange a visit and help your students discover the opportunities available in the building and construction industry.

After last year's downpour, we were incredibly grateful to be treated to some beautiful sunshine on Saturday!
Our team had an amazing day catching up with our valued Host Employers, sharing plenty of laughs and enjoying a great day trackside.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, we truly appreciate your ongoing support and hope you all had a fantastic time (and even managed to back a few winners 🐎💰).

We always enjoy the opportunity to connect outside of the workplace and look forward to doing it all again next year!

🌟 Introducing our July Apprentice of the Month! 🌟

A huge congratulations to Liam from Newcastle Formwork Services, who has been putting in the work and consistently impressing with his dedication and effort. We couldn't be prouder to recognise his achievements!

🏆 As our July Apprentice of the Month, Liam is also the first to receive our NEW Apprentice of the Month Prize Pack! 🎉 Trust us... it's a prize worth winning.

Congratulations Liam, we hope you love your prize pack, and we can't wait to see who takes home next month's title! 👏

One of the biggest questions we get from businesses: 'What's it actually going to cost me?'

Here's the honest answer. 👇

As a host employer with NMBA:

✅ You pay a charge-out rate... a single, straight forward weekly rate for the hours your apprentice/trainee actually spends onsite working
✅ We handle wages, super, WorkCover, and payroll tax
✅ No surprise costs, no HR headaches

Simple. Transparent. Built for trade businesses.

Reach out and we'll walk you through the numbers.
