Our 6-month program creates employment pathways for women. We provide training and paid work experience.
Following the training we link women to supportive employment opportunities in the building industry.
We also provide development and support with pre-employment skills such as teamwork, career path assistance, resume and interview preparation.

As part of the selection process, Habitat for Humanity Australia has partnered with Trades Women Australia Foundation (TWAF) to run a series of workshops to introduce women to working in the construction industry.
The four-week series will include confidence building activities, try-a-trade opportunities, and meet and greet sessions with female mentors in the sector.
These workshops will act as a hurdle for selection and women candidates must attend all workshops to qualify for onboarding.
Those participants who are not selected in the first instance will form a pool of talent that HFHA can source casual workers and back-up participants should any of the initial candidates drop-out.
In addition to the TWAF workshops, women candidates will be required to go through an interview process and sign a letter of commitment that clearly details expectations during the placement.
