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.
