Myths of Trades

Common Myths Busted

  • Trades are just for the guys – you don’t need to be a body builder to work in a trade! Working safely and within your limits applies to everyone!
  • You need to be under 21 to get a trade – age is only a number! Mature age apprentices bring great life experience and value.
  • Employers don’t hire women in trades – Many employers in trade occupations are increasingly seeing the value and balance women bring to a workplace.

There are many more myths and questions about a Trade Career which we get every day, that’s why Mas National have a dedicated women in trades team.
