HOW CAN WE SUPPORT RARE TRADES AND OUR NEXT GENERATION?

Why are Australia’s smaller trades disappearing? 

Victoria Pearce is the Director and Senior Conservator at Endangered Heritage, and aims to reignite interest in rare trades because if she can conserve tangible heritage, why not intangible heritage?

She spoke to ABC Radio Canberra about the need to reverse legislation to ensure these trades have an apprenticeship space and can train the next generation. 

Victoria Pearce will be displaying her skills at the National Endangered Skills and Trades show being held at the Old Bus Depot Markets in Canberra on the 13th to 15th of October, 2023.
