Apply for a Women Leaders Institue Scholarship

We are offering scholarship assistance to women from diverse backgrounds who have historically been underrepresented in workplaces. This includes (but not limited to) First Nations women, linguistically and culturally diverse women, women living with disability and members of the LGBTQI+ community. The scholarship will cover the two-day conference fee to attend our annual Women in Construction, Engineering and Infrastructure Summit.


Who are we looking for?


We are looking for changemakers with:

  • Leadership potential and/or experience – we appreciate leadership on any scale

  • Intellectual curiosity and growth mindset – you’re ready to take action steps to advance to the next level of leadership

  • Ambition and drive – but unable to access/receive substantial funding for leadership training
     

Priority will be given to applicants from community and/or small Not-For-Profit organisations.
 

Why should you apply?
Women are underrepresented at leadership and management levels in the construction, engineering and infrastructure sectors, significantly women from diverse backgrounds. By building a more diverse talent pipeline that feeds into our workforce, we can provide more opportunities for women from underrepresented groups to pursue and thrive in leadership positions.

To make an application, please write to enquiry@womenleadersinstitute.com with the following details:

  • Name, Job Title and Organisation

  • Event location that you are applying for
