Some useful ways to find an employer are through family and friends, by contacting employers directly, contacting a group training organisation and applying for jobs in the newspaper or on the internet. How do students enrol for their training? Step 1: The student must have a signed apprentice/trainee contract with an employer.

Women in hard hats Information for women and girls considering their career options Recent statistics indicate more and more girls and women are getting into study or employment in hard hat industries every day, but more are still needed! Women in Hard Hats is a Queensland Government initiative. Led by the Office for Women, it encourages women and girls to enter and remain in hard hat careers in a range of industries. What are hard hat careers? Hard hat careers include work in industries such as mining, construction, science, engineering and technology. As attitudes about women and work change, and more women choose to enter hard hat careers, the number of women in these industries is growing. Women who want to pursue career opportunities that are varied and exciting find these nontraditional industries offer them a variety of roles that are rewarding and can increase their earning capacity. They gain valuable, transferable skills that they can use throughout their working life. In a hard hat career, you could possibly find yourself: working in a cutting-edge laboratory living on-site and working in an open-cut mine planning the construction of a bridge or designing a road upgrade overseeing a high-tech data centre managing a team of tradespeople and labourers on a building site, or travelling to a remote location to identify a mine deposit. Get into a hard hat career now! Interested in getting into a hard hat career? Why not try one of the SkillsTech Australia VET in Schools programs? Our Trade Taster for Year 10s has a group set aside specifically for girls so you can try out a number of trades in a comfortable environment. More and more girls are taking up our Year 11 and 12 trade programs. Register your interest with your school VET Coordinator. 24
