The Australian Training Council is looking for employers to host students from Years 9 & 10 for 3 to 5 day unpaid work experience placements in October and November.
About the program
The placements are part of the Understanding Building and Construction Program, the first curriculum-based program that focuses on women in construction for female
and gender diverse students throughout Years 8 -10 in Australia.
The program is designed to encourage female and gender diverse students to consider a school-based apprenticeships program or university pathway as they transition
into Years 11 and 12 and beyond.
What’s involved?
Hosts would be required to host students for 3 to 5 days. Insurance is covered by the ACT Education Directorate and all PPE is provided to the students. Students will have their White Card, Asbestos Awareness Card and Silica Awareness Card.

– Week 1 – 19 Oct to 23 Oct 2026
– Week 2 – 26 Oct to 30 Oct 2026
