Hedger Constructions, Steven and Sharon Hedger along with painting supervisor Rodney Hedger, attended the Victory Room at Etihad Stadium Friday 12th May to share in the exciting announcement that apprentice painter Michael Miller had become the winner of the State Employer Nominated Apprentice Award for 2017.

In front of accompanying family and friends, Michael was selected from 21 other statewide regional winners. This is a well-deserved reward for Michael’s hard work and dedication over the past 4 years. Michael commenced with Hedger Constructions as a mature aged apprentice and completed his painting and decorating apprenticeship on May 1st this year. Completing his schooling modules off campus, Michael was supported by the Murray Mallee Training Company throughout his apprenticeship. Michael had to submit a portfolio of his work and attend numerous interviews as part of the award process.
