Connecting Women to Trades - Round 2

The Connecting Women to Trades program offers grants to eligible organisations to deliver skills, training and career development projects that support women to pursue a career in trades.

The grant program aims to achieve three goals outlined in the Women in Trades Strategy 2021-2024:

• Increase the appeal of trades to raise female participation rates.
• Remove social and cultural barriers to women entering trades.
• Support women’s learning to increase their job opportunities.

Grants of up to $300,000 are available for projects commencing in February 2023 and delivered over 14 months. $500,000 from the grant fund will be prioritised to fund projects delivered in NSW local government areas (LGAs) affected by floods in 2022.

Applications will be accepted from group training organisations (GTOs), industry associations, industry training advisory bodies (ITABs), local government, not for profit organisations, registered training organisations (RTOs), trade employers, trade unions and women's networks.
