I’m 19 and currently trying to secure a 1st year plumbing apprenticeship. I don’t have industry experience yet, but I’ve done construction labouring and I’m confident with tools, physical work, and following WHS procedures. I always follow up with employers, but many tell me they have chosen someone with experience. I’m committed, reliable, and ready to learn just looking for someone willing to give me a chance to start my career in plumbing.

I am a welder, have almost a year of experience in the housing industry, I am now trying to think about moving forward Some friends suggested I get certified and explore opportunities abroad, like in Australia or New Zealand. Do you think there are any employers who could sponsor me? I provide relocation costs and others, I'm just looking for whether there are any companies that need people next year?

Any other females struggling right now trying to find a job in the trade industry, u sit there and get told you’ll never be good enough, never be stronger enough never be tuff enough, always being told your gonna get no where in life, getting declined by companies from having lack of experience but yet you can’t get any because who wants to hire a girl right. Just wish it was easier.
