Accelerating Women into Automotive is full steam ahead, with a new cohort of participants starting their program activities at VACC House in North Melbourne.
Part of the government's $5 million Women in Trades Fund, Accelerating Women into Automotive is a venture from VACC, Women in Automotive and the Victorian Department of Education and Training that supports and inspires women interested in the industry.
During the four-week program, participants receive training at a Registered Training Provider and experience fun and varied work placements. Activities aim to equip participants with the information and insight needed to make an informed decision about starting an automotive career, and if they do decide it's a good fit – VACC facilitators will help them secure an apprenticeship and provide ongoing support.
VACC member-businesses that provide work placement to participants will receive free diversity training for their employees and, at the end of the placement, can offer an apprenticeship to their participants.
