Are you ready to pursue a non-traditional trade?
There’s no better time to start an apprenticeship or traineeship, especially as a female, than now!
Why now? Well, because all of those historical roadblocks to certain trades, such as stereotypes, pay inequality and lack of female role models have now become a thing of the past.
Plus, knowing that diversity and productivity is essential for a thriving economy, the Australian Government has set aside $38.6 million over the next 4 years to invest in initiatives to support females wanting to enter a non-traditional trade.
And to top it all off, Women Trading Up (a part of Apprenticeship Support Australia) is here to help you make it happen, with our free mentoring and career guidance services.
Why wait? Register with us today.
