NZWiR Scholarship Winner, Dani Ohlsson

Congratulations to Dani Ohlsson on being awarded a scholarship for a New Zealand Apprenticeship in Roofing! Dani already has some experience in roofing but was looking for support to advance to the next level and become a qualified roofing installer. Here’s what Dani has enjoyed about roofing so far:

“My favourite part about roofing is the satisfaction you get from restoring an old, rusty, or damaged roof into a new, clean, and modern-looking steel roof. I appreciate the ways in which roofing is an art form, by which I mean the ability to fold the metal around corners and curves and over pipes, and the aesthetic designs some roofs require. I love working outdoors and the physical aspect of the job. I find it fascinating that no one roof is the same, each comes with its own challenges and specific designs.”

The scholarship was made possible thanks to our partnership with Vertical Horizonz. It covers the fees for a New Zealand Apprenticeship in Roofing (Level 4) qualification in one strand, along with access to a financial assistance fund. We look forward to seeing you progress in your career, Dani and will catch up with you soon for an update on how things are coming along!

We would also like to thank all applicants to the scholarship for your time and effort – your passion for the industry did not go unnoticed. We encourage you to continue in your roofing journey and to apply for any relevant future opportunities that may arise.
