New Zealand’s infrastructure industry has a skills gap when it comes to upgrading roading networks, replacing leaky water pipes, maintaining power lines or installing faster broadband technology, to name a few. These jobs are in high-demand,
can be a lot of fun, and provide varied career paths…for women just as much as men.
Females only account for about 18% of employees in the Infrastructure Industries in general. This trend can be found in
the statistics of many other trade sectors. Girls with Hi-Vis® (GWHV) aims to change that!
Now in its 10th year, Girls with Hi-Vis® gives female students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, hear from inspirational women in the industry and learn what a career in the infrastructure industries, as well as other important trade sectors, can offer.
Registrations to attend a GWHV event are open now!
