Women in Civil Mentoring Program

The Women in Civil Mentoring Program is a professionally designed and delivered development program for women Mentees in the Western Australian civil infrastructure industry who seek support, guidance and professional growth.

Mentees are paired with a highly experienced Mentor who is willing to commit time and energy to help the Mentee with their professional development.

The program is facilitated by Rechelle Hawkes AM, former Hockeyroos Captain and three-time Olympic gold medallist.

This program assists Mentees develop skills in areas including

  • Emotional intelligence
  • Understanding roles and major project pipeline
  • Problem solving techniques
  • Communication skills
  • Building confidence in the industry and
  • Building relationships
