Why we are here...
Despite positive growth being made throughout many industries, employment trends and workplace culture in the Building and Construction Industry haven’t changed for nearly 40 years. That is why the Government funded the development of Building Gender Equality: Victoria’s Women in Construction Strategy 2019-2022.
About Us
Women In Construction mentors the next generation of female construction workers, implements inclusive policies, and creates meaningful job opportunities for all women.
We are here to provide a range of services that go beyond meeting minimum targets of participation, as we seek to make a genuine contribution to helping develop a skilled Labour market that is inclusive of women and in doing so, break down the structural and cultural barriers that have prevented women from finding meaningful and rewarding careers in male dominated industries, such as the building and construction industry.
Women in construction is proud to be a certified social enterprise, reinvesting in tomorrow future women in the building and construction industry.
WIC implements a strategic approach which applies to the first 6 months of engagement. It provides new entrant or inexperienced workers exposure and some experience with key trades and activities being undertaken on site, along with training in machine and plant operation involved in these activities.
The Pathway Plan is a simple guide for building skills and can be adapted to the client or to project needs with training outcomes that in turn reflect the client and / or project requirements. The Pathway Plan’s purpose is to provide the worker with better insight and greater industry knowledge to help them determine the path they wish to take.
