What our students are saying
“As women, we’re proving to everyone that we can make it. So don’t be afraid to put your name down and step up for trades. Follow your heart and keep going.”*
Mereana, Construction trainee at NZMA.
“I love the idea of being able to see your work take shape in front of you. I know people in construction who can point out huge apartments and buildings and say, ‘Yeah, I worked on that.’ And I will be able to say that as well!*
