As the Visual Connections/ASGA Education Program enters its final phase for 2023, ASGA announced dates for Industry Taster Days in Sydney, 25-26 October and Brisbane, 8-9 November. ASGA will also attend a Girls Tech Day in Campbelltown, Sydney. “There's no question recruiting girls to the industry is vital to continue the move to more gender-balanced workplaces."
“These days, facilitated by the team from AusSIP, will involve students who have a qualified interest in moving into apprenticeships, giving them a greater understanding of working in the industry by visiting selected sign and graphics businesses for a hands-on immersive experience of our industry 'IRL'!” ASGA told members in its monthly newsletter.
“We will also be attending the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Girls Tech Day on 22 November at The Cube' at Campbelltown Convention Entertainment Centre. Run in conjunction with Inspiring the Future this exciting event is designed to inspire female school students to consider pathways in technology.
“There's no question recruiting girls to the industry is vital to continue the move to more gender-balanced workplaces, so this is an ideal opportunity to engage with some 400 primary students at the morning session and a similar number of high school students in the afternoon.
“Students will get the chance to engage with everything from AI and machine learning to coding, virtual reality, robotics, cyber security and more - and with the help of Trotec on our stand, we will be introducing them to the wonders of digital production and laser cutting.”
