Bradley said he got into glazing after being given the opportunity to do some casual labour in the trade and now really enjoys his work.
"I get to meet new people every day and every job's different," he said.
It was also satisfying to see the finished outcome of completing various glazing jobs, he said.
Mikaere said he got into the trade through a friend, and was "stoked" to have been awarded the scholarship.
He also enjoyed the variety the job offered.
"I just like being out at different sites and not in the same place," he said. "It's something different every day."
He said all the different skills that were learned in glazing kept it interesting and he
hoped to have his own business one day.
Both Bradley and Mikaere's apprenticeships, which are in house glazing, will last around four and a half years, and the scholarship programme will mean they are visited and mentored during that time, as well as having their apprenticeships paid for.
Apprenticeships and qualifications for glaziers are provided through the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO), a government-appointed body that develops professional qualifications and sets standards for the industry.
