NAWIC sponsors Site Safe scholarships

NAWIC is helping women take leadership roles in health and safety with its sponsorship of Site Safe’s Women in Construction scholarships, specifically the NAWIC Women Working in Construction category (any age or ethnicity).

A minimum of two scholarships are presented each year to women who have shown a commitment to safety, shown leadership skills, and contributed to safety in the workplace and the industry.

Scholarship recipients get free training towards the Site Safe Health and Safety in Construction programme which leads to the NZQA-recognised Certificate in Workplace Health and Safety Practice Level 3. (There will probably be some additional costs for any winner, though).

Site Safe also provides scholarship winners a dedicated mentor to provide full support in completing the training and assignment work.

Scholarship winners also get a complimentary ticket to Site Safe’s Evening of Celebrations to receive their graduation certificate and to be part of the awards evening with the rest of the industry.

Applications for 2019 have now closed.
