Diversity at Alcoa Australia

There are more women coming through the graduate program however the sites are often still dominated by men due to the nature of the industry.

Strong focus on hiring diversity.

I've always heard good things about Alcoa's commitment to diversity - I first joined the company on a women in engineering scholarship so I've always felt supported as a women in engineering. My department is also very diverse with employees of all different backgrounds and stages of life. A few chemical engineers have young children so it's encouraging to see women with young kids are supported and employed in Alcoa's workforce

We have a very even gender ratio, with support networks available for LGBT, ethnic groups, women and indigenous employees

Open minded workplace

Gives opportunity to people from less privileged backgrounds.

I was fortunate enough to have a scholarship which relieved financial pressures of uni - otherwise I'm not very familiar with how alcoa attracts applicants.

The company offers a lot of traineeships, particularly from local high schools.
