The right strengths for the trades
It takes the right person with the right attitude to succeed in the trades. Someone with grit, determination and endurance. These are the kinds of strengths that women have and that the industry needs.
Like Rachel Corbett, from Martin Goulden Ltd in Lower Hutt - Having worked as a qualified landscaper for 15 years, she completed her carpentry apprenticeship last year, and loves it.
If you’re a woman interested in the trades, read how local women are doing it or register for The BCITO & Mitre 10 Building Women night to meet them and employers in person.
