A MORE DIVERSE TRADES’ WORKFORCE
Working towards a more diverse and representative trades’ workforce, Victoria University Polytechnic recently held a Try a Trade day in partnership with Women Onsite – a program of the Victorian Trades Hall Council funded by the Victorian Government. The mission of the Women Onsite project is to support Victorian women towards apprenticeships or traineeships in historically male-dominated industries.
Assistant Secretary, Victorian Trades Hall Council, Ms Wil Stracke said the Women Onsite project aims to turn these statistics around.
“Working with partners like VU Polytechnic and running Try a Trade days is a great first step.”
