International Women's Day: Anita

It's not just about attracting women into the clean economy but also to ensure that we retain them.

Hi my name's Anita Smith I'm the director of Industry Development and Technology at Solar Victoria.

I oversee a fantastic training and workforce initiative and in particular we're really focusing in on supporting women to participate in the clean economy workforce.

We've also got a really innovative initiative to support women to be employed as apprentices.

We've focused on electricians and now we're moving towards plumbing and air conditioning mechanics.

I think it's a fabulous opportunity to really support young women in particular to come into the clean economy sector.
