women into trades
Hera Eruera isn’t met with a lot of support when she tells people she’s training to be a tradie.
"Honestly I had a lot of people, even my own whānau and friends, telling me, ‘Bro that's a dumb career, why would you want to do plumbing? That’s a stink job,’” she said.
"I actually didn't have any support towards me jumping into this."
But the 26-year-old apprentice plumber, who features in the new web series Wāhine on the Tools, doesn't want other Māori and Pasifika women to be discouraged.
