A career in infrastructure
Infrastructure gives our communities the facilities they need including roads, water, power, bridges, tunnels, and telecommunications systems. It’s a practical and hands-on industry where you’ll help provide the essential services people use in their daily lives. You’ll learn how to work safely on infrastructure sites and with machinery, and how to protect the environment while completing large projects.
How do I train?
Trades training is flexible. You can:
- Do a pre-trades programme, then get a job and apprenticeship
- Get an apprenticeship straight away and study while you work
Many people start with a pre-trades programme at a training institution. This will give you the hands-on experience and theory you need to prepare you for work. If you qualify for one of our scholarships, you can study for free – and we’ll help you find work when you finish.
If you already have experience in the trades or are ready for working life and happy to study while you work, you might look at going straight into an apprenticeship. We can help you make that decision, and we might even know someone who needs an apprentice like you.

Find a course
MPTT Auckland partners with trades training organisations, but we don’t take enrolments directly. To apply for our scholarships, you’ll need to enrol with your course provider first. Once you’re accepted into your course, please ask your training organisation about applying for an MPTT scholarship.

Apprenticeships are managed by Industry Training Organisations (ITOs), who make sure you get the training you need to earn your qualification. The ITO for infrastructure is Connexis.
