Women

Professionals

Do you thrive on challenge? Are you interested in growing your career in the construction sector? Whether you are a recent graduate or have 20 years of experience you are a pioneer in this industry and are likely to experience a never-ending quest for personal growth and professional challenges. Over the years we have found that women working in the industry need a forum through which they can share successes, challenges, and encouragement with each other. At the same time we all want to further develop our knowledge, skills and ability to contribute additional value to the sector.

Unprecedented opportunities for women to develop thriving careers in the industry now exist. The environment for women’s professional development may still be challenging, but it has never been better than it is today. We encourage women to take advantage of the time and invest in themselves and their abilities to add value to the industry. We also encourage women to recognize the role they can play in further opening doors for other women, particularly the youth.

Following the successful pilot of our monthly series of breakfast seminars for professionals in Cape Town last year, we aim to further develop our offerings in 2009. We recognise that many of the built environment professionals require Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points and aim to offer courses that will be accredited for CPD.

Through this website and various programme activities we aim to provide you with:

A strategic view of our industry
A range of business and personal development skills
Links to industry opportunities
A view of other women’s experiences and lessons learned within the sector
Access to a wide network of women and industry role-players
Inspiration and support
