The pre-employment program, run in partnership with RoadTek, provides women with an overview of the industry and the career paths available. They’re also given the opportunity to acquire the skill-set to become immediately operationally effective in the industry, as well as the opportunity to complete a Cert II Civil Construction – Resources and Work Infrastructure.
Once employed, applicants will have access to ongoing mentoring provided by mentors via Protech partners which include the National Association of Women in Construction.
This program has been successfully run annually since 2017, with 90 percent of applicants continuing to work for RoadTek and/or with other companies.
