That every woman, regardless of age, ethnicity, income level or social status, can freely choose and enter into a trade apprenticeship in the building and construction industry.

Implement real change in the building and construction industry by coordinating programs for women-in-trades across Australia together in one holistic movement.

Within the civil, building and construction industry, Build Like A Girl will:

🛠️ Increase recruitment and sustained engagement of women in skilled trade roles

🛠️ Mentor women actively engaged in skilled trade roles through collaborative support of employers and industry; increase retention and facilitate ongoing employment

🛠️ Build industry productivity, contributing to broader social and economic gains in priority sector workforces

🛠️ Transform the industry, its participants and the culture of construction. Contribute to direct and flow-on economic growth

We seek to engage with all state and Territory governments to achieve their procurement and community value targets for diversity and equality.
