Trade and Tech expo video 2024

00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,600
- We were really excited on the way here.

00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,400
We just kept talking on the bus about it.

00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,480
We didn't really know that much.

00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,440
We just knew it was an opportunity

00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,040
for us to learn about what
we can do like career wise.

00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,480
- I was really excited about coming here

00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,800
just to see the different options

00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,240
in what I could do with my career,

00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,040
and seeing all the things

00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,280
that women are able to do nowadays.

00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,560
- I've never really been to
anything like this before,

00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,080
and yeah, I wasn't
expecting it to be this big,

00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,120
so it was cool.

00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,360
- I didn't really know this existed,

00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,160
like women in trades,

00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,080
so it was kinda exciting

00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,800
to like find out what it actually is.

00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,880
- I was excited to see
what options there are

00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,040
for women in trades,

00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,720
and I was excited

00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,040
to see what I could do
when I finished school.

00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,760
- I don't really know what
I wanna do when I'm older,

00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,320
so like yeah, all the
activities, really fun.

00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,520
We hope we can fit it all in in time.

00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,440
- Pretty much the whole day,

00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,400
we just went around to
like the different stalls

00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640
and like learnt about the different trades

00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,320
that we could do when we're older.

00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,680
Yeah, I did like how
everything was hands on

00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,880
and you just got to like
choose what you wanted to do.

00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,120
- Well, we just did the aviation,

00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,320
which was really cool.

00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,840
I mean, there's the truck over there,

00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,680
which is, that's really cool.

00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,960
- Well, I really enjoyed the brick laying

00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:19,800
that was over there,

00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,640
the electrical stuff,

00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,640
how you could be hands
on with it and have a go

00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,200
instead of just reading something.

00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,480
I really enjoyed doing that.

00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,680
- I got to do the VR experience

00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,920
and got to do open heart surgery,

00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,040
but I think the patient
may have died, may have.

00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,000
- We looked at some of the schools

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,880
for engineering and stuff like that

00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,880
so we could get a better
gist on what we need to do

00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,520
to be able to get into courses like that.

00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,320
Yeah, it was really
informative and interesting.

00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:46,840
- We went to the truck over there.

00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:47,760
That was pretty cool.

00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,840
The boat, the boat, what else did we do?

00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160
We did the hammering, the plumbing.

00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,160
- It was pretty cool

00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,680
because they made me do
like the pipes and stuff,

00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,800
and I also went to the locksmithing thing

00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,120
and they told us like how locks work.

00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,280
And there was a huge lock there.

00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,560
That was pretty cool.

00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160
- I love how interactive it is here,

00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120
and that you can like see
the actual tools they make.

00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,080
That was just a photo
booth I did with my friends

00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,480
so we could have like a
little thing from this

00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,520
to put in our rooms,

00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,600
and we dressed up as construction workers.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,920
- Before this, I sort
of really didn't know

00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:23,760
what I wanted to do.

00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680
And then coming here and trying new things

00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,920
like really makes you want to explore

00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:29,520
and like see what you wanna do,

00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,440
and it's really cool.

00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,080
- Just meeting people who have these jobs

00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200
and can tell you stuff about it,

00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,920
I feel like that's pretty cool.

00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,240
- Like it has kinda
shown me what to expect.

00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400
If I'm ever like gonna
do a career in trades,

00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200
then I know like what I'm gonna expect.

00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,120
- I learned about the different things

00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,200
that you could do in trade.

00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,920
For an example, like
being a safety manager

00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,160
to even driving a crane.

00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,360
I think I'm gonna try and
pursue project managing

00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,600
because I like to be the boss of everyone.

00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,440
- I didn't really like
know that all this existed,

00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,240
so now I've got more options in my career.

00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,880
There are like so many jobs
that actually like women can do,

00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,800
so it's very eye-opening.

00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,920
- I actually never
thought of being a tradie,

00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:12,040
but when we heard some
other ladies that did it,

00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,120
I think it's really
surprising that they love it,

00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,680
so I can love the same thing they do.

00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,480
- I would say it's fun.

00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,120
- Yeah, definitely fun.

00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,960
- Hands on.

00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,080
- Hands on and definitely.

00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,280
- Educational.
- Educational.

00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,120
- That's what I'd say,

00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,680
but all round a 10 out of 10,
