UNIQ You X NTCA

Meet Val Ridley, UNIQ You’s CEO, at Booth 63 to learn how our industry partners are helping young women discover new career opportunities.
Helping young women explore careers across Australia’s under-represented industries.

UNIQ You connects high school girls in Years 9-12 with women working across under-represented industries through live virtual career conversations.

During these sessions, Advisors share their career journeys, talk about their roles and industries, and answer students’ questions in real time.

These conversations help students better understand:

  • What different roles actually involve
  • The pathways into those careers
  • The opportunities available across industry

By making career pathways more visible and relatable, UNIQ You helps students see possibilities they may not have previously considered.
