2012‐2013 NAWIC QLD Mentoring Program

The Queensland Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction’s Education and Mentoring Committee is commencing a Mentoring Program for women beginning their career in the Building and Construction Industry.

The Mentoring Program will connect female students, apprentices and recent graduates and with NAWIC members who are currently working in the Building and Construction Industry to develop positive mentoring partnerships. Outcomes of the Mentoring Program will be an extension to career activities undertaken within the curriculum and the opportunity to:

• Improve career planning for female students, apprentices and recent graduates
• Develop life skills to enhance career and workplace transitions
• Reduce gender specific career attitudes within young women
• Develop the mentoring culture within the organisation and build the capacity of NAWIC members toundertake formal mentoring roles

We are currently inviting current 2012‐2013 NAWIC members to participate in the 2012 Mentoring Program. We are calling for applications for mentors and mentees. The program will be re-evaluated in June 2013 for further viability and enhancement based on participant and industry feedback.
