The right strengths for the trades

BCITO

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 Victoria Mitchell from Legacy Custom Construction in Lower Hutt - A single mum of two boys, she went from running her own cleaning business to just finishing her first-year carpentry apprenticeship.

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.
