Hastings Deering has experienced an increase in apprenticeship applicants from females and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders for its 2022 intake.
The mining and construction support company opened applications for 40 positions at the start of May with more than 10,000 people already visiting the company’s apprenticeship web page.
Its applications portal for 2022 apprenticeships will close on Monday.
In a first for Hastings Deering, this year’s campaign also included an app where would-be apprentices could see themselves in high vis PPE gear – literally putting themselves in the picture.
Hastings Deering people and culture general manager Vincent Cosgrove said the company valued flexibility and inclusion within its workforce which was always a critical component of apprenticeship recruitment.
