We know we have a tradie shortage at the moment, and one of the areas that could address that is growing the number of women in jobs - at the moment only around 10 percent of apprentices are female.
Hera Eruera is one of those women. She was a stay-at-home mum when she decided she needed a job to support her family.
She was the only woman in her plumbing course, but is now an apprentice.
