High School Staff and Students Invited to attend International Women’s Day Event

RMIT’s School of Property, Construction and Project Management held an event in 2016 for the first time entitled “Women Building Futures: Careers in Property, Construction and Project Management” on International Women’s Day 8 March 2016 to celebrate Women in our industries and encourage more female students to get involved and consider a career in Property, Valuation, Construction Management, Project Management and/or Sustainable Building

We would like to invite you, your staff, careers advisors and students to celebrate International Women’s Day with us in 2017. We are sending this Save the Date out early in order to ensure those who are interested have time to add it to their event calendars during planning for the year ahead.

There is no charge associated with attending the event. We simply ask for RSVPs in order to ensure we are able to cater for all. For 2017 we were able to secure an inside venue so the heat will not effect our attendees.
