Community Foundation

How we are structured and what we do

Tradeswomen Australia Group is comprised of Tradeswomen Australia and Tradeswomen Australia Community Foundation.

Together, we’re a non-profit organisation working to increase the representation of women in skilled trade roles. We aim for gender equality and empowerment for all women to access, participate and succeed in trades.

At our Community Foundation, we work to support women of all life experiences into long-term financial security through careers in trades.

We do this through:

  • Community Programming – Our Remade for Trades program supports women into securing a career in the trade industry. The program links women to a great network, willing employers, support services and the potential for lifelong financial security.
  • Jobs Boards – Our jobs board is regularly updated with the latest full-time, part-time, and contract jobs and apprenticeships with vetted employers across Australia.
 

We’re working hard to increase female representation to more than 2% of Australia’s trade industry workforce. The challenge is considerable, with many barriers in place, but we’re getting closer every day thanks to the help of our community partners and supporters. If we work together, we believe all women from all backgrounds will succeed in trades careers.
