Women in Construction

The YES (Youth Engagement Strategy) Program @ TAFE 

Our group of Year 10 "Women in Construction" students have now completed their studies at Miller TAFE.  Over the course of this term, they have undertaken practical activities in carpentry and been learning many new skills including how to make biscuit joints.  They also had the privilege of hearing from current female employees from large construction corporations such as Multiplex and Cubic about all the various employment opportunities that are available to them within the construction industry and how they can thrive in such a male-dominated world.

The students have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to any upcoming female Year 10 students who have an interest in construction.
