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 (male or female) who is willing to commit time and energy to help the Mentee with their professional development. 
CCF WA works with leadership development organisation Modal to deliver the program, which is facilitated by Rechelle Hawkes AM, former Hockeyroos Captain and three-time Olympic gold medalist. This program assists Mentees develop skills in areas including goal setting, understanding personality styles, network building, how to identify and confront challenges, and industry understanding and confidence. 2023 Program Overview The 2023 Women in Civil Mentoring Program was proudly supported by Kais Hire, Before You Dig Australia, BMD Group, Cbus Super, SRG Global and Whittens. |
COMMENTS FROM PAST CCF WA WOMEN IN CIVIL MENTORING PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: |
‘Meeting all the confident and strong women in the program definitely inspired me to want to aim higher in my career and be more involved in the industry. I feel I have gained a lot more confidence throughout this program, in being able to speak up at work and how I present myself.’ – 2022 Mentoring Program mentee | ‘What I have learnt from the workshops has allowed me to become more comfortable and confident in my workplace. I am far more comfortable to suggest changes in the workplace and have those “difficult conversations” than I was before this program.’ – 2022 Mentoring Program mentee | ‘(The mentee) had a noticeable improvement in her self-confidence and also self-awareness as a manager which allowed her to understand and work on areas of improvement. Overall, I felt this was a fantastic program.’ – 2022 Mentoring Program mentor |
