AMWU's Mission:
Women are notably underrepresented in manufacturing trades such as automotive mechanics and electricians (3.5%), mechanical engineers (1%), panel beaters and vehicle body builders (3.4%). Having more women in the workplace has been shown to boost productivity levels, increase job satisfaction, increase employee retention and increase team building. People deserve a fair go in the workplace, regardless of gender. The AMWU wants to see more women on the tools. That's why we've partnered with Bendigo Kangan Institute to increase the representation of women in manufacturing trades.
Proudly supported by The Australian Government and the National Careers Institute.
