Introducing “You Can Make It!” – an inspiring career book showcasing 15 remarkable Queensland women breaking barriers in manufacturing.
Beautifully illustrated by local artist Rachel Tribout, this resource will reach primary school students in years 3-6 across Queensland, challenging outdated perceptions of manufacturing careers. From building supersonic aircraft to creating intricate electronics, these diverse role models demonstrate the creative, technological, and exciting opportunities available in modern manufacturing.
This initiative aims to spark curiosity in young minds before gender stereotypes take hold, inspiring the next generation of innovators and helping build an inclusive manufacturing workforce for Queensland’s future.
