    As the local construction sector continues to see steep and rapid growth, the need for skilled workers has never been greater. But what is being done to ensure we've got enough young people picking up the tools? In this episode, Jay and Brooke are joined by Tu Nu'uali'itia from Unitec and the Māori and Pasifika Trades Training consortium for a big ol' chat about his work helping school leavers and reskillers into the sector, what he thinks prospective tradies should know before kickoff, and how we can continue to shift perceptions about the prospects of a life in the trades.
