Meet Hayley – A Welder Apprentice
Hayley Maisey, an apprentice with Skill Hire, is forging a successful career in the trades as a welder at CIVMEC. Despite common misconceptions that trades are not suitable for women, Hayley has thrived, earning two Skill Hire Apprentice Awards and gaining recognition for her dedication and hard work.
She highlights the camaraderie and support she experiences on the job, and the satisfaction of contributing to major construction projects. Hayley encourages other women to consider a future in the construction industry, stressing that once you begin an apprenticeship, everything starts to fall into place.
Skill Hire, which recruits, trains, and manages workers across industries like mining, logistics, and construction, proudly supports women pursuing careers in trades and is committed to fostering gender equality in the industry. Hayley’s journey is a testament to the opportunities available and the supportive pathways Skill Hire provides for women entering traditionally male-dominated fields.
