Forum to launch women support
A FREE forum designed to support women across the Tablelands to build confidence, strengthen skills and explore local career pathways will be held later this month.
Tablelands Regional Council is launching the Women’s Initiative for Skills & Empowerment (WISE) program with the free forum on 30 March at the Atherton International Club.
“The launch forum will bring together women, employers, mentors and community organisations to connect, share ideas and learn about the opportunities available through the program,” Mayor Rod Marti said.
“Women play an incredibly important role in our regional communities and economy, and initiatives like WISE help strengthen participation and opportunity across our region.
“Following the forum, a series of free workshops will be delivered locally across the Tablelands focusing on financial literacy, digital capability and employability skills.”
The workshop program will be delivered in partnership with organisations with expertise in these areas, including the Indigenous Consumer Assistance Network (ICAN), NBN Co and Vocational Partnerships Group (VPG).
Women from across the Tablelands are encouraged to attend the launch forum and learn more about the program.
Registrations are essential.
