It was great to see Capricorn Team Members and Capricorn Rising Stars winners connecting at the Auto Women Social in Brisbane. Organised by the Motor Trades Association of Queensland, the event was held to bring together female apprentices, technicians, business owners, office staff, and enthusiasts from across the Brisbane automotive industry.
This year, three Capricorn staff attended the event and enjoyed meeting and connecting with others in the industry outside of the workshop. Jacky Mills, Chief Experience Officer of Capricorn, believes these events are key in promoting diversity in the auto industry.
“Feeling connected and part of the automotive industry, beyond the workshop, is really valuable to women who work in any kind of role in automotive. These events provide a supportive environment where women can share advice, ideas, their passion for the industry, and just get to know each other”.
“Capricorn is proud to be sponsoring MTAQ’s Auto Women program again in 2024. We know that the automotive sector is experiencing a sector-wide skills shortage and programs like these help encourage women to join and stay in the industry,” Jacky says.
A highlight of the night was to see two Capricorn Rising Stars winners at the event, Chelsea Bowers (2023) and Gabrielle Clift (2020). Both winners are passionate about the automotive industry and dedicated to empowering and supporting women in automotive careers.
