We are a social enterprise and DRG-registered charity dedicated to inspiring and supporting women in pursuing careers within the skilled trades industry. At EWIT, we firmly believe that women have immense potential in traditionally male-dominated fields. Our mission is to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a more inclusive environment where women can thrive and excel in trades careers. Through our various initiatives and programs, we provide mentorship, training, and resources to empower women at every stage of their journey. Whether you're just starting to explore the trades or already established in your career, our community is here to uplift and support you. Our team of passionate professionals, industry experts, and like-minded individuals work tirelessly to promote gender equality, advocate for fair representation, and cultivate a diverse workforce within the trades sector. We organise workshops, networking events, and educational programs to foster knowledge exchange, build connections, and equip women with the skills they need to succeed. Together, we can reshape the future of trades and create a world where women's contributions are celebrated and valued. Like our page, engage with our content, and be a part of the movement that is revolutionising the trades industry. Please note that our original page was unfortunately hacked and we have been locked out, but we are thrilled to launch this new page to continue our mission of empowering women in trades. Thank you for your unwavering support, and let's write a new chapter of success and empowerment together!

What a day! What a crew!

We joined the Terraverde team to deliver an immersion experience in Melbourne focusing on Civil Construction, specifically tunnelling earlier this week.

The team got to learn about the SRL project, hear from some industry experts, some incredible insights were shared and spend time exploring the amazing Tunnelling Centre at Holmesglen in Chadstone.

Our crew who came along asked so many questions, showed incredible curiosity and are all now planning what the next steps are to land on the project in 2027 and beyond.

Massive thanks to Jaz, Callum, Kirsty, Paul and the wider Terraverde and Holmesglen teams for your support.

You can only be what you can see- and how impressive awesome is tunnelling!!

Women of all ages joined us for our Bundaberg Try-a-Trade Night, many feeling nervous and excited to weld for the very first time. By the end of the night, many were already exploring pathways into the engineering trades!

A big thank you to AMWU member and TAFE Queensland teacher Matt for starting the conversations that got this night happening.

This program was delivered through the Breaking Barriers: Women in Trades and Tech project, in partnership with Empowered Women in Trades and TAFE Queensland, funded by the Australian Government through the Building Women’s Careers Program.
