Have you recently competed your trade certificate?

It’s that time of year again, when Stratford District Council celebrates local people who have recently completed their chosen training.

The annual Trade Graduation celebrations are part of the Mayors Task Force for Jobs initiative and are a chance to recognise members within the community who have finished trade certificates.

Mayor Neil Volzke says, “This is a highlight on the events calendar. We’re proud to celebrate the hard work and effort that goes into completing higher education or trade skills. Local people succeeding in their chosen field is a positive for the whole district and it’s important to take the time to acknowledge them.”

If you have recently completed a trade and have not yet heard from Council, please get in contact with Samantha Vega on svega@stratford.govt.nz or on 06 765 6099 by Friday 3 November to be included in this year’s celebrations.

The Trade Graduation Ceremony will be held on 23 November 2023 in the Council Chambers.
