WAVE Career Pathways for Women and Girls Project
WAVE Career Pathways for Women and Girls: Emergent and
Non-traditional Occupations and Industries [Viable Work]
This project aims to build a map of viable work for Australian women by
identifying industries & occupations with viable career pathways – work that is
emergent, in identified areas of existing &/or potential skills shortages; including
non traditional fields – where existing participation of women remains at a low
ratio Overview Document
WAVE proposes to investigate and then promote the notion of the career viability
(industry and occupation) for women through available information via
http://www.joboutlook.gov.au/ Summary Document
The factors we are considering to identify viable work include the requirement
that an industry &/or occupation will:
– have a good record of employment opportunities, supported by identifiable
pathways to careers that evolve from such employment;
– recognise skills, and expertise in pay levels and work conditions and/or
offer above average remuneration opportunities;
– expect growth or are sustaining themselves; &
– plan for and promote future needs that includes women.
