2020-2021 CMI Toyota Apprentice Awards

Each year, we take the opportunity to welcome new Apprentices into the renowned CMI Toyota Apprenticeship Program, celebrate our graduates and recognise those who have excelled during their first, second and third years.

Unfortunately due to COVID-19, our Apprentice Awards evening was unable to take place last year. This meant that our 2021 event would be bigger and better than ever!

Apprentices and their guests were invited to join us in the CMI Toyota West Terrace showroom to enjoy delicious food from Indulgence Food Design, and the opportunity to mingle with each other, their peers, management and industry leaders.

Of course the highlight of the night was the opportunity to celebrate the incredible achievements of all of our Apprentices and those who are now fully qualified as Pro Technicians.
