Mō Te Kaupapa

About The Project


Traditionally, much like many of the hands-on trades pathways, this space has been occupied predominantly by men.

We are on a mission to showcase to the women of Northland and Auckland that they can also thrive in this industry, that there is room and support for them, and that rewarding, sustainable careers and encouraging employers are waiting. We know from our years working alongside employers and training providers that women shine in these roles, and there are many examples of exceptional female tradespeople who have trailblazed this path before now.

This programme offers wrap-around support services including mentorship, training opportunities, and work placement support. For more information, check out our dedicated website by following the link below.
