It appears that the glass ceilings don’t exist and the hurdles have fallen!
There are very few ways to build bridges to young women entering the work- force and distance, time and effort are not barriers to seeing and experiencing the range of jobs available to young women on the north west coast.
-
Promoting young women to achieve to higher levels.
Statistics even though improving, are not conducive to young women reach- ing their potential, by attaining qualifications from grade 11-12 and University. Society shapes us from the time we get a pink or blue blanket at Birth. Many young women now never consider male dominated industries, for a number of reasons. This is changing, and we believe this function is the pinnacle event in changing hearts and minds for young Tasmanian Women.
-
Enhanced prospects to employer.
Promoting Higher Education to young women improves the quality and diversity of employee selection to employers and increases the workplace skills brought about by women.
-
Value adding.
Employers value add to their Business with the range of skills and diversity that women bring to the workplace.
When it comes to accomplishing goals or building a solid workplace relation- ship, the feminine touch and skills like Empathy, intuition and optimism of wom- en work towards the benefit of the Company. Women in the workplace have a high impact and some of them are –
-
-
Boost Productivity levels
-
Talented individuals can expand their network
-
Constructive communication
-
Attract younger workers
-
Multidimensional
-
Team Building
-
There is nothing more important than helping young women know they have career options. Society has a lot of catching up to do to see Women on level status in the workplace. It might not appear to be so extreme, but it is. Young women need to know there are no limits and we have this as our ongoing message.
