Building a better future

Building a Better Future highlight the diversity of roles, career paths, opportunities and workplaces that are available to women in the construction industry.

Since the beginning of this project, over 80 stories and images of women actively involved within the construction industry have been collected. The stories include information about how and why these women pursued a job in construction, what they studied, what path they have taken through the industry, what challenges they have overcome and what their career highlights are.

This website aims to provide inspiring and relevant information for girls and young women considering career and training options, career advisors and young women wanting to move into the construction industry or move within it.

To all the women who submitted inspiring stories; stories of women who have successful and varied careers in non traditional areas; stories that encourage girls and young women to investigate and consider real career choices in one of Australia's biggest industries, Thank you.

If after visiting this site and reading the stories you feel inspired to tell us your story, we'd love to hear it. Click here for more details on the program and how to submit your story.
