We are committed to identifying and promoting the necessary qualifications and skill training needed for women entering or advancing in the field. Our working group aims to address and remove barriers faced by women in the interior construction sector, while also showcasing the wide variety of career opportunities available both on and off-site.

Ensuring everyone has access to essential information and guidance is central to our purpose, as we work to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in the industry.
