Making Her Mark

Making Her Mark supports girls and women to explore careers in non-traditional occupations and industries. They inspire, encourage and educate females, from 16 - 64 years, to embrace a variety of career choices uninhibited by gender stereotypes. There are massive advantages that come from addressing gender equality in the workplace: increased productivity, sparking higher levels of innovation and diversity of views. Gender perceptions about subjects, study pathways and career options 'suitable for women' often starts in schools, families and communities resulting in fewer girls choosing STEM subjects and young women seeking careers elsewhere.

Role of Making Her Mark:

1. Inspire, through a range of videos and case studies showcasing career journeys of women in non-traditional occupations and industries
2. Educate, by creating a Making Her Mark guide that includes career pathway information and resources for girls and women
3. Encourage, through a range of events in SA sharing experiences of girls and women stepping into non-traditional careers.

Girls Can Trade Up

There are over 500 trade careers and there has never been a better time than right now for women to enter into a trade career. Trade careers offer stable employment across a wide range of industries with good pay and great options for career progression beyond the apprenticeship.
