The Albanese Government is further delivering our commitment to increase the number of women working in critical industries, today announcing the second wave of projects funded through the Building Women's Careers Program.
Under the second tranche of the Program, 10 community-led, place-based projects will share $9.5 million in funding.
The projects are spread across all Australian states and territories, improving women's access to flexible, safe and inclusive training and work opportunities.
The partnerships are with leading-edge organisations including Building Women, Women in Technology WA, Network for Educational Workplacements, Central Coast Group Training, Tradeswomen Australia Foundation, Mimal Land Management Aboriginal Corporation, Griffith Skills Training Centre, South West Local Learning & Employment Network, Master Builders Association of Tasmania and the Technology Council of Australia.
The Building Women's Careers Program was announced in the last Budget as part of the Albanese Government's $22.7 billion Future Made in Australia package.
Stream two builds on the 10 industry-led projects announced earlier this week.
All 20 projects are being delivered in partnership to address the barriers for women entering, remaining and advancing in the traditionally male-dominated industries of construction, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and digital and technology.
