The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) says the industry will not be able to achieve the growth it wants without recruiting more women……………….

QRC chief executive officer Michael Roche says female workers are needed to take up trade roles and careers in engineering and environmental sciences.

“The industry will be in a recovery phase very, very quickly and we know we’ll need thousands more people to service the sort of growth that is being planned in the industry and we can’t do it just by relying on the blokes,” he said.
