WOMEN LEADERS IN THE INDUSTRY

As part of the BIAV effort to have a strong presence at Career Expos this year and beyond, there will be a Boating Industry Hub at The Trade Fits – Young Women in Trades and Tech.

Large numbers are expected at the careers expo, where female students, in years 9 and 10 will be introduced to career pathways in traditionally male dominated industries, including marine.

Expo appearances are a significant piece of our plan to boost our industry profile, and attract and retain more young talent.

Can you be involved and provide much needed help and input?

• Attend for a day, or half a day, and welcome students and their questions, encourage them to take our Careers Guide, or just tend the stand.

• Provide an activity (hands on) that they can take part in. Something simple and safe that would take each participant 5-10 minutes.

• We are hoping the stand will include a boat, engine, banners, fliers, handouts etc.

Contact mary@biavic.com.au to enquire or to take part.
