What you need to Know…
When is it?
Depending when it works better for your school you can choose between the
last week of Term 3 (w/c 22nd Sept.), or
first week of the school holidays (w/c 29th Sept.).
What can i do?
You tell us! Take our quiz and see which field could be for you. When you sign up, tell us which profession you would like to explore and we will match you with one of our over 50 partners. If you want to see what architecture is all about, we have AJC and Architectus waiting for you. If you are keen to be on site, get ready to see how Muliplex is building the new Western Sydney Airport.
If you are still unsure, check our careers page to hear from the ladies first hand.
What about insurance?
Your school probably has an insurance policy that either covers in-term or holiday placement. We recommend checking with your advisor and pick the week that works best for you. However, if the school should not be able to facilitate, we request you take out your own insurance.
Do I need a white card?
No - We are advising businesses that you will not have a white card, however please let us know if you do as it might open up more options for your placement.
How do I know I will have a good experience?
Our work experience providers have all opted in to helping bring more women into our industry and are committed to providing a ‘friendly face’ for your first workplace experience. We’re providing all businesses with a guide on how to welcome students – including a pre-experience briefing, dress code advice, and example activity programs. All direct mentors will also be vetted by Working with Children.
Is construction a good industry for women?
TWIC was founded by a group of women who love what they do and want to share these positive stories with the next generation. The construction industry has changed significantly in the past 20 years and now generally has best-practice policy and practice – from work health and safety through to parental leave. If you want to make a tangible difference to our cities and places, our industry is for you.
