Are these employers rated or ranked?
Not yet. This is an index, not a ranking. Until apprentices add their timelines, a listing carries a company's name, trade and region and nothing else: no reviews, no stars, no opinion. The order is alphabetical, not a judgement. No money changes hands for a listing, a position in it or a removal. Tell us if a listing is wrong.
Where are these employers based?
Across 7 New Zealand regions, in 13 trades. Each of the 42 listings sits on both a region page and a trade page, so you can approach the ones you could realistically get to five days a week. Pick a region:
