Embracing equity to make these career paths more palatable to women is an excellent way to attract female workers to the industries. Training women in the latest techniques and technologies will go a long way to addressing the labour and skills shortfall and helping the nation to meet net-zero targets. It also presents new financial opportunities that may have been previously overlooked.  Continue reading →
