We are proud to be able to award the "Apprentice of the Year" award for the first time to Andrew Johnson! Not only was he brave enough to join us in our pilot program and started as first GACC apprentice at VEKA Inc,, he now is a huge advocate for our program and helps us to spread the word about the opportunities that come with the program. 

He helped us recruit several other apprentices and functions as a mentor with his experience he gained over the past one and a half years and his outgoing and charming personality. Andrew is not shy to give us feedback about the apprenticeship program. His feedback is very much appreciated and helped us to continuously improve the training conditions, classroom training and much more.

We cannot express how thankful we are to have Andrew in our program and how proud we are to see him grow and mature.
