Building industry group, BCITO has launched a new initiative to get more women into the trades.
The number of women in trade apprenticeships has grown from less than one percent in 2015, however women still only make up just over six percent of apprentices.
So why is that? And what more can be done to boost the number of women tradies?
Kevin Paul Painters and Decorators in Nelson has a number of women apprentices. To tell us more Mark speaks to co-owner Maria Williams.
