Follow Dani’s Story
In 2025 New Zealand Women in Roofing, in partnership with Vertical Horizonz NZ (VHNZ) offered a new scholarship, where the winning applicant would have their remaining apprenticeship fees paid in full, along with a financial fund to draw down on for apprenticeship related costs. NZ Women in Roofing is proud to award the first Apprentice Scholarship to Dani Ohlsson.
The scholarship was designed to lower the barriers for women within the trade or looking to get into the trade to get fully qualified. The ratio of women to men on the tools is staggering, with estimates around 3% of construction workers in New Zealand being female.
We’ll be following Dani throughout her apprenticeship in our blog.
