Tradie’s Perseverance Pays Off
When Casey Aranui went looking for work experience for her EIT trades training programme, she was knocked back by a dozen builders.
The reasons she was given, she says, were about gender, but the determined 32-year-old wasn’t about to be deterred and her perseverance has paid off.
Graham Scarfe Builder Ltd offered Casey the opportunity she was looking for, and now, working full-time for the company, she is on track to securing a carpentry apprenticeship.
