Who does WaMT ‘support’

The WaMT team can provide direct support to women who want to change careers and move into construction or the building trades; those who want to undertake related training; women who want to move geographically and are unfamiliar with local employers; or those who simply want to find out more about the opportunities that the construction sector can offer. This support ranges from providing or funding training, preparation for job interviews, toolkits and PPE, to on-the-job support and advocacy, access to trade specific networks and advice and guidance on career development.

We will work with and support employers and other partners committed to addressing the gender imbalance by providing real and meaningful employment and training opportunities for women. Through a collaborative approach we provide advice, support and guidance to partners, as well as policy makers, to facilitate the growth in women’s career opportunities within the construction sector.
