WomenCAN Australia, At Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club
WomenCAN Australia: Our program, The Placement Circle (TPC), supports women to build their confidence, their connections and their work capability.
The Placement Circle is working with women to help them gain vocational qualifications, meaningful employment, links to financial literacy training and create a supportive community of women.
We have created a unique business where our qualified tradeswomen provide trades, gardening, cleaning and other residential services to women in their homes as well as organisations that work with women and girls.
We have a pool of talented experienced women. Our business has significant social impact as a result of our connection with The Placement Circle where a pipeline of tradeswomen are being trained through TAFE. On graduation, those women have the opportunity for a structured career in trades and facilities maintenance. (eg: Plumbing, Carpentry, Electrical (& Gas), Painting, Cleaning, Gardening, Gutter Cleaning, Rubbish Removal, Glaziers, Testing of gas appliances).
We're doing this by establishing a training model for women that provides them with the support they need to get back into the workforce.
