Women Onsite
Are you a woman who’s keen on getting into an apprenticeship or traineeship? Women Onsite wants to hear from you!
The Women Onsite Project is a pilot program that’s all about opening up opportunities for women in male-dominated trades.
Since the 1980s, women have represented less than 2% of the Australian trades workforce – so we know there’s some catching up to do.
That’s why we’re inviting women of all ages and backgrounds to explore the types of well-paying careers that can come from training or re-training as an apprentice or trainee. Want to give it a go?
Women Onsite is part of the Victorian Government’s Learn and Earn program, and it’s run through Victorian Trades Hall Council.
Here’s what we are doing so far:
- Running an info-packed website and social media campaign to help women get inspired about their career options
- Women-only Try a Trade days, allowing you to get a feel for what different trades are all about
- Women-only pre-apprenticeships, to set you up for success in your chosen field
- Teaming up with the University of Melbourne to research the best ways to recruit more women into the trades.
