Apprenticeship Support Australia (ASA) has wrapped up the 2025 First Year Experience Survey, and we want to extend a big thank you to all apprentices and trainees who took the time to share their feedback.
We received thousands of responses from apprentices and trainees across Australia! Your insights help us understand the real experiences of apprentices and trainees nationwide and plays an important role in shaping the support we provide through the first year and beyond.
Congratulations to our major prize winner!
We’re excited to announce that the winner of the $1,000 eftpos gift card is Marina T from Mount Druitt, NSW, who commenced a Property Services traineeship this year. Congratulations, Marina!
This year’s survey also included two $250 spot prizes, drawn throughout the campaign and awarded to apprentices in VIC and WA.
Thank you to everyone who completed the survey and helped make the survey insights meaningful and truly representative of the apprentice and trainee community. We’re now reviewing the insights from the survey and look forward to sharing what we learned next year!
