“She Builds The Future has been created to offer the youngest Tasmanians inspiration about the building industry, along with supporting school leavers to learn more about the careers they can consider,” said Stuart Collins, HIA Executive Director Tasmania.
“The She Builds The Future website provides practical information aimed at empowering women to navigate and seize the vast range of opportunities in the building industry.
“At the heart of this program is the Australian edition of The House that She Built, which tells the story of a group of women that come together to imagine, design and build a new home.
“The book aims to educate young readers about the people and skills that go into building a home.
“With women making up approximately 15 per cent of the construction workforce and even less in the trades, programs like She Builds The Future, HIA Building Women and BuildHer are critical in addressing the skills shortages by increasing female participation and improving diversity.
“HIA is currently working with the Minister for Women and Education along with the Department for Education, Children and Young People to distribute The House that She Built books and implement the program in all primary schools and K-12 district schools in Tasmania,” concluded Mr Collins.
