A new 'pilot program' by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Australia (FCA) has given nine women an opportunity to get a closer look at the career opportunities available to them in the automotive trade sector. 

Called ‘Women In Auto Trades’, the pilot program was run through Sydney TAFE.

FCA said it’s the first of its kind in New South Wales.

Nine women aged between 19 and 40 years took part, undertaking a five-week full-time course at Sydney TAFE’s Ultimo campus.

With the course now complete, members of the group say they are keen to pursue an apprenticeship in the automotive industry.

FCA says the group will join just 614 female mechanics in Australia if they complete their apprenticeships, with women comprising just four percent of mechanics employed in Australia.

In NSW, the number is just 1.2 percent with FCA saying around 22,000 positions for skilled mechanics of either gender are currently unfilled across Australia.
