Jobs summit should support apprenticeships in female-dominated trades, independents say

Independents are calling for more investment in female-dominated trades like textiles and floristry ahead of the government's jobs and skills summit to be held tomorrow.

This jobs summit must not become fixated on getting only the high-vis industries out to work and leave the pink workforce at home yet again ... We have women who want to work. We must enable them.

There's been too narrow a view of what are the apprenticeships and trades, it's been a very bloke-centric approach.
