More women in construction will benefit everyone in the industry – and the community.
In 2023, women made up 15 per cent of the Australian building and construction workforce. However, only about three percent were on the tools.
Holmesglen Institute, a leading provider of vocational and higher education, is paving the way with a women-only construction course designed to inspire women to a career in construction. Hear all about the students’ recent visit to one of the Victorian Health Building Authority’s busy construction sites.
A construction course exclusively for women
The Certificate II in Construction Pathways, offered by Holmesglen Institute, is designed for women aspiring to pursue trade careers traditionally dominated by men. The course offers a unique opportunity to explore various trade skills like carpentry, joinery, and general construction.
