Girls' Aspirations - working futures and career choices

 

    Much has been said about boys recently but this workshop critically assesses girls' educational and working futures. It will look at initiatives to support young women in the professions and discuss the issues of girls' career opportunities and tertiary education. It will also include a particular analysis of girls' participation in the VET sector and possible initiatives for government, union and community organisations to pursue.
