Growing and Training Mentors for Business and Building Women Success

The HIA & Savant mentor training pilot and mentoring of industry employees project spans all sectors of the Tasmanian building and construction industry including civil, commercial and residential. In the first part of the project participants from these sectors will learn the fundamentals and skills needed to identify employees in need of mentoring, understand behaviour, emotional intelligence, communication fundamentals, mental health first aid and the foundations of coaching.

The second part of the program will apply these principles by delivering mentoring services to a broad cross section of the industry ranging from apprentices to professionals. The program will have a diversity focus and aims to introduce new workplace practices as an outcome.

Project duration: 24 months

Keystone funding: $186,000
