Great South are facilitating another Girls In Trades event this month. This event gives students the opportunity to hear from female ‘tradies’ about their honest insights into their jobs and workplaces, why they chose a trade and what a typical day looks like for them. The students will also participate in practical activities and talk with companies about getting started in the industry. It is a fun and interactive way for students to learn more about industry based training.
