About the Event
We are excited to announce we will be joining the upcoming Trade & Tech Fit career expo next month, where Amarapave will be showcasing career opportunities in the flexible pavements sector!
Organized by the Department of Education, Trade & Tech Fit is tailored for female and gender diverse secondary school students, spotlighting dynamic careers in industries traditionally populated by men.
Last year, out of the 2493 students who attended:
46% expressed interest in pursuing careers in trades.
51% developed an interest in trades and tech careers after attending.
95% of teachers are now more inclined to recommend trades and tech pathways to their female and gender diverse students.
These figures signify a promising shift in the construction industry, challenging entrenched gender biases and igniting enthusiasm among young individuals for post-school careers that truly inspire them.
If you're attending, be sure to swing by our booth and learn how Amarapave is fostering diverse career pathways for women and gender-diverse individuals in the asphalt industry.
