At Trade Institute of Victoria (TIV), we have always supported women taking up trades. We feel women have a lot to offer the construction industry, and in turn, the industry has a lot to offer them.

Women currently only make up 13 per cent of the building and construction Industry’s workforce and of those, only 2 per cent are in trades. The other 11 per cent of women work in administration and support roles.

However, there is a push for 25 per cent of the construction industry to be female by 2025 and TIV are proudly playing their part in helping with this culture change.

There are many job opportunities for women in trade and we want to support them to get there. Jobs that women do and can do successfully in the building and construction after studies with Trade Institute of Victoria include: Carpentry, Site Manager, Project Manager, Estimator, Builder and many more.

Call our friendly female course advisors on: 03 9399 9511 today to talk through your future pathway.
