Women make up just 4% of the electrician workforce in Australia – and Victoria University (VU) electrotechnology student Alex Morales-Alonso is one of the young women determined to break the norm.

Now, more doors are opening than ever before, thanks to the Government’s fee-free TAFE subsidies and large investment in cutting-edge training technology. And along with benefiting from VU’s industry-leading equipment and hands-on learning, Alex is helping forge the current of change within electrotechnology.
