Transitioning into the trades industry can be challenging, but at MPTT, we’ve got your back. We’ve teamed up with AEG Powertools to ensure our tauira are trained in the safe use of power tools.
A new way to support Māori and Pasifika Trade Trainees
Along with scholarships, MPTT supports our tauira to develop technical skills, gain hands-on experience, and get the right licences and certificates. We partner with a range of organisations and now, we are excited to welcome AEG to our whānau. They’ll bring even more resources and support to the MPTT community.
AEG is known for its commitment to quality and innovation
AEG Powertools is a reputable German manufacturer with a legacy dating back to 1887. Now, AEG is backing MPTT by offering on-site training to all our trainees. AEG is known for its innovative and reliable tools, and this collaboration also gives MPTT access to special offers on AEG’s high-quality power tool range for apprentice builders, plumbers, and electricians. MPTT supports our apprentices with a tools kete, tailored to their trade, to help smooth their transition into work. AEG tools are a great option for our apprentices to get value from MPTT’s Learner’s Support Fund.
