Australia has grappled with a skills shortage for the past two decades, especially within the trades sector, which remains a top priority. Despite being in a period of historically low unemployment rates, employers still struggle to find suitable candidates for various roles. Unfortunately, many talented women continue to be overlooked for positions traditionally associated with men.
But here’s the truth: women are essential in addressing this skill shortage. Not only can they fill critical roles, but they also bring unique strengths to the table. Their contributions extend beyond technical skills—they enhance workplace communication, foster stakeholder relationships, excel in teamwork, and contribute to creative problem-solving. In short, they help create a more inclusive and positive workplace culture.
