???The construction industry still faces a significant gender gap, with women representing only 15% of the workforce and less than 3% in trades. Jo Farrell, founder of 'Build Like a Girl' and ACT Australian of the Year, is working hard to change this narrative. Her efforts to encourage women to pursue careers in construction trades are reshaping the industry for future generations. Listen to her inspiring interview and hear more about her journey here:?https://lnkd.in/geJYiCWc
Women only make up around 15 per cent of the construction industry, according to a March report from Master Builders Australia and still make up less than 3 per cent of trade occupations. This last figure has remained virtually unchanged since the late 1980s. So, why is this still the case? Jo Farrell is General Manager of Kane Constructions... and founder of 'Build Like a Girl' - a not-for-profit organisation encouraging women to pursue trade occupations. She was also this year's ACT Australian of the Year for her work championing young women in this male-dominated space... inspired by her own experiences and stories from other women working in construction and trades.
