Cook Shire Council is proud to celebrate the achievements of Connor Morgan, our talented Apprentice Diesel Fitter, who has been named a finalist in the Apprentice of the Year category at the 2025 Cairns Trade Excellence Awards, hosted by TAFE Queensland.
With more than 2,500 apprentices currently training across Cairns and over 100 nominations received for the awards, Connor’s selection as a finalist is a significant accomplishment. It recognises his outstanding work ethic, technical skill, and dedication to his trade.
Connor is a valued part of Council’s workshop team, known for his commitment to learning, his positive attitude, and his growing expertise in heavy machinery maintenance and repair. His recognition at a regional level reflects not only his personal efforts, but also the strong mentorship and support within the Cook Shire team.
He will represent Council at the 2025 Cairns Trade Excellence Awards on Thursday 24 July, and we extend our congratulations and best wishes for the event.
Well done, Connor – we’re proud to have you on the team!
