When/Where
The program previously operated at the Green Central campus in Kariong, NSW, offering flexible course hours to support participants of all ages.

Why
Girls of Steel aimed to foster gender diversity by supporting women in non-traditional roles within the engineering sector, creating pathways for a smooth transition into the workforce.
