Introduction
The School of Built Environment at UNSW has proudly received a $ 2.3 million grant from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’ s Office for Women, as part of the Australian Government’ s Women’ s Leadership and Development Program. This grant supported the creation of this inspiring storybook that chronicles the journeys of women in the construction industry. Through their stories, we aim to encourage and empower more women to pursue careers in this dynamic field.
This storybook highlights the diverse paths these women have taken, showcasing their resilience, innovation, and leadership. By sharing their experiences, we hope to break down stereotypes and demonstrate that the construction industry is a welcoming and rewarding career choice for women. The stories will serve as a beacon of inspiration, illustrating that with determination and support, women can achieve remarkable success in construction.
We believe that this initiative will not only inspire individual women but also contribute to a more inclusive and diverse industry. By fostering a culture of equality and opportunity, we can build a stronger, more innovative construction sector that benefits all.
