The Women in Plumbing program is a Master Plumbers and Plumbing Apprenticeships Victoria initiative backed by the Victorian Government’s Apprenticeship Victoria program, which seeks to champion a connected community of aspiring female students, apprentices, and plumbers address participation rates for women in Plumbing.
The Women in Plumbing program is tailored to support women on their plumbing journey at EVERY step of the way, No matter what stage they are in life, including:
Making the decision
We know that there is a lack of understanding about what a plumbing career can offer and a lack of exposure to successful female role models in the industry. Women in Plumbing will bust the myths and stereotypes and shine a light on a great network of female plumbers to show you how it all works and examples of what a career in Plumbing could be.
