REGISTRATIONS CLOSEÂ MONDAY 25 SEPTEMBER, 2023
Young women in the first 5 years of their career within male-dominated environments are at a unique stage of their professional life, and subsequently have distinct needs when it comes to support and opportunities for growth.
Â
With the Australian HR Institute âTurnover and Retention Research Reportâ (August, 2018) finding that the job position with the highest level of turnover was the Entry/Junior/Graduate level at 40.6%, this stage represents an opportunity for employers to focus on engagement to retain women and facilitate better gender balance across the business.Â
The First Five program delivered by the Trellis Collective is the first of its kind in Australia, and has been designed to complement existing policies and initiatives within organisations, in order to support, up-skill and empower young women working in male-dominated industries to participate fully in their role, team and wider organisation.Â

THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS PARTICIPANTS THROUGH THREE KEY PILLARS
CONFIDENCE
Having the CONFIDENCE to build their self belief, speak up and back their ideas; to navigate challenging situations and pursue career progression.
COMMUNICATION
COMMUNICATION skills with an emphasis on the use of clarity and influence for positive outcomes, knowing how to communicate with other staff members, and mastering the art of networking and creating meaningful connections.
COMMUNITY
Deriving a sense of belonging and support provided by a COMMUNITY of women with shared lived experience navigating male-dominated workplaces and projects.
"The thing I appreciate about the content of the First Five Program is that it doesnât âtip-toeâ around the real hurdles woman face in this industry. I know it can be uncomfortable to admit and discuss, however it is the reality of the industry and what young woman face in their first 5 years.Â
If we want to retain young talent we need to provide them with exactly this type of early support."
