Build a great team with female tradie power!
With a record unemployment rate and skills shortages everywhere, don’t miss your opportunity to find skilled female tradies to enhance your workforce! Australia’s trades sector is rising to the challenge as more and more employers engage with skilled, driven women to join a growing sector of our workforce.
Mya Warde had always been interested in trades, probably thanks to her family history. Her Dad, uncle, brother, and first cousins are also tradies, and Mya was keen to follow in their footsteps. A year-long stint of work experience while she was in Year 10 with a local electrical business, Perricoota Power, was just what she needed to ‘test the waters’.
It was enough for Mya to decide she knew her perfect career path. Once Mya completed Year 10, she contacted Daine, Perricoota Power’s owner to embark upon her career (and passion) for the trade. Daine was thrilled to offer a full-time apprenticeship position to Mya.
Now, Mya is kicking goals as she continues her Certificate III Electrotechnology Electrician apprenticeship. She has found a job she loves, with a supportive boss, and is on the way to her first trade qualification!
