Women In Trades
The changing face of trades starts with you
Taking a unique career path requires a blend of courage, drive, and a belief in one's abilities. It also takes passion and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
MEGT is committed to empowering womens’ success in the trades sector. We actively advocate for trade businesses to recognise the value of female employees and provide opportunities for women to grow in their careers.

Why mentoring matters
Did you know that apprentices who have the support of a qualified mentor have a higher chance of completing their qualification?
As a female apprentice in a male-dominated trade, you qualify to benefit from the support of a MEGT mentor at no cost to you or your employer!
MEGT’s highly skilled mentors work closely with every individual as confidants, network builders and cheerleaders. They focus on listening to you, acting as a sounding board, providing advice and feedback, and helping you navigate your apprenticeship.
If needed, our mentors can help you develop a ‘stay-at-work' plan or advocate for you should challenges arise in your workplace. However you need them, they’re here for you.
Meet our qualified mentors
MEGT’s Mentoring team is full of trained professionals to help prevent setbacks or support you through everything from personal challenges such as relationships, housing, mental health, finances, or issues in the workplace.
