UNIQ You

UNIQ You is proud to partner with industry-leading organisations in developing a platform that directly connects female students with over 100 strong, female role models to provide personalised, powerful and real-world STEM and VET career pathway advice into some of the most male-dominated industries in Australia.

Be a part of this revolutionary initiative that will demystify industries where women are under-represented in many sectors - tech, transport, electricity and gas, construction, mining, aviation, water and sewage, agriculture, manufacturing, military and defence. 

UNIQ You gives young women access to honest insights from women who were once just like them. Have your questions answered by someone who lives and breathes the job that you want. There is now a new student booking system for students in Year 9 to 12 girls, to have a one-on-one video call with female advisers from all around Australia. Get started here.
