Even though I am a Senator, I sometimes experience self-doubt. While women are marked on merit, one of my female friends who has a doctorate, and I will not mention her name in case she criticises me for identifying her, has said it feels as though we cannot step outside boxes without being afraid of being dismissed or not having a job. How do we get more women and women from ethnic minority groups to undertake apprenticeships? I would appreciate answers to my questions on future-proofing and apprenticeships.
