Career Pathways for Women and Girls: Emergent and Non-traditional Occupations and Industries

Career Pathways for Women and Girls: Emergent and Non-traditional Occupations and Industries

WAVE undertook the Career Pathways for Women and Girls: Emergent and Non-traditional Occupations and Industries project in conjunction with economicSecurity4Women.

The project resulted in a series of papers looking at the context of viable work for women in Australia. These include

  • industry profiles currently available which include gender statistics,
  • profiles of women in non-traditional fields of work who shared their experiences and perspectives via a small survey,
  • WAVE policy recommendations to promote viable work options for women and girls,
  • And information which may support career advisors and employers.

Together with our strategic partners WAVE will promote employment to women and girls which offers better pay and conditions, where industry growth appears sound and industries where the inclusion of women’s needs are evident. WAVE is planning a launch of this project (TBA) and will undertake strategic releases of the materials to promote improved outcomes for women and girls to engage in viable work.

 WAVE would like to thank SALT members who generously contributed to this project.

This Project investigates and seeks to promote the notion of career viability (industry
and occupation) for women through information available via the Australian
