OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT
We were proud to support the AMWU women's conference again this year. A two-day try a trade event for students in grades 9,10, 11 and 12.
Lots of great conversations were had with these incredibly inspiring young women.
Members Tullia (Electrician) and Charlotte (Apprentice plumber) shared their experiences and encourage them to pick up the tools and give it a go.
Women's Officer Amanda Coleman found that once the students were made aware that these trades were available to them, they were more than considering them as an option.
It's important that young women are given every opportunity to participate, this starts with conversations with our sisters, daughters, mother's, teachers and principals to make sure these career options are discussed and offered, then comes making sure supportive programs are in place.
