The New South Wales Government has announced $200,000 in funding to assist women into non-tradition trades.

The Investing in Women funding is designed to develop new approaches to increase the number of women entering non-traditional trades, with organisations eligible to apply for up to $25,000 from the fund.

The Government is encouraging projects which support women into non-traditional occupations - trades with 25 per cent or less participation of women, such as electricians, cabinet makers and motor mechanics.

Information about the application process is at www.women.nsw.gov.au. Grants are open continuously with rounds closing for assessment on 30 April 2013 and 31 August 2013.
