This is an additional resource developed by Ministry for Women.
This booklet provides some suggestions for hiring women apprentices. New Zealand’s construction industry has a skilled labour shortage and the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to impact that shortage. To meet this demand it’s helpful to cast the net wider and look past the usual ‘go-to’ groups when hiring.
A three-year project, jointly commissioned by the Ministry for Women and Ako Aotearoa, to increase the participation and success of women in construction and engineering related trades where they are traditionally under-represented.
