A brighter future for women in Queensland trades

Apprentice Mentoring Program

A brighter future for women in Queensland trades

This Apprentice Mentoring Program is an initiative designed to provide comprehensive and holistic mentoring support for female apprentices in Queensland early in their career. Its mission is to guide both apprentices and businesses through their apprenticeship journey, ensuring success and sustainability in our trades.

Our team of experienced mentors offer impartial, expert guidance to both apprentices and employers, helping them navigate the complexities of the apprenticeship journey. We provide tailored support through worksite visits, phone calls, emails, and direct messaging, ensuring flexibility and accessibility throughout Queensland.

 Support for apprentices

Our mentors create a nurturing environment that encourages apprentices to complete their qualifications and carve out a secure career pathway in the construction industry.

  • Work-life balance: giving support to manage the demands of work and personal life
  • Financial and nutritional guidance: providing advice to maintain financial stability and healthy living
  • Mental wellbeing and safety: offering strategies to ensure mental health and workplace safety
  • Literacy and communication: overcoming literacy barriers and improving communication skills
  • Workplace expectations: clarifying and setting realistic expectations in the workplace.

Support for employers

We will collaborate with employers to:

  • Define goals and challenges: identifying and addressing specific goals and obstacles
  • Provide information and strategies: offering practical advice and strategies tailored to the unique needs of each business
  • Referral to services: connecting employers with additional resources and services
  • Management techniques: sharing effective approaches to manage apprentices and ensure their success in the workplace.

Eligibility requirements

Apprentices: Must be a 1st or 2nd year female apprentice with a construction trade and be a Queensland resident.

Employers:  Must work within construction trades, have an active ABN, and be able to demonstrate their principal place of business is in Queensland.

 

My experience with the HIA Mentoring Program has been positive from the first interaction. The program is distinctly supportive in a number of holistic areas so that no matter who the apprentice is or what age or stage they are at, there is something of value for them.
