Energy sector full of Grace

Key points

• Federal Skills and Training Minister Andrew Giles visited the SEC Delburn Wind Farm to highlight the Powering Her Pathways program. The program encourages women to enter the energy trades, a field where they make up about 16 per cent of the workforce and six per cent of energy apprentices.
• TAFE Gippsland runs a six-week taster course, backed by just under $1 million from the federal government.
• Grace Harding, a Latrobe Valley local who completed the first taster course, is now a health and safety officer trainee at Delta Group.
