Women in Construction
In 2022, the AttCall Group have committed to boosting diversity and female participation in the transport and construction industry. This has been achieved through a traineeship for either; Certificate III in Driving Operations or, Certificate III in Civil Construction & Plant Operations, with full training and assessments conducted in the field across multiple AttCall projects.
Upon completion of the traineeship, they will have obtained their HR license and be given the opportunity to upskill and obtain their HC license. In addition, the women completing their civil construction plant operations traineeship will have tickets for the operation of excavators, skid steers, dump trucks and more.
The first group of women undertaking the traineeships come from a variety of fields such as aged care, warehousing, aviation and traffic control. Each of the women have a burning drive to get into the industry but have struggled to find the opportunity!
The aim of these traineeships is to build upon existing Government initiatives which aims to double the number of women in trades and non-traditional roles.
We recognise the importance of providing career opportunities for these women to ensure our ongoing success and growth, all backed by the unique value that women bring to the transport and construction industry for years to come.
