OUR TRAINING APPROACH

Buildher delivers a 12-month, work-integrated workforce pathway that moves women into skilled, paid construction work. The first 6 months focus on accredited technical training, combining hands-on skills development with real site exposure, internships, and structured workplace readiness. The following 6 months support transition into paid work through job placement, employer engagement, and on-site experience, enabling women to earn while building competence and reliability.


Beyond training, ongoing alumnae support strengthens retention, progression, and access to subcontracting and income opportunities.
