WELCOME BACK OUTWARD BOUND-ERS |
|
|
Ten Masterlink apprentices have returned home after spending 16 days on the Building Leaders Outward Bound course at Anakiwa, located at the head of the Marlborough's Queen Charlotte Sounds. Gurmeet Grewal, apprentice with Aquaheat New Zealand, said it taught him so much and was a life changing experience, "I'm starting a new chapter of my life after this course." Thank you again to Methven Caroma for funding these scholarships and host companies who support their apprentices to attend. |
