A movement to uplift women from diverse cultural backgrounds is gaining momentum as the Women’s Mentoring Foundation (WMF) prepares to host two free workshops in Spring Hill, aimed at helping participants build confidence, develop job-readiness skills, and strengthen community bonds.
The sessions will take place at the MCCQ Office on Wickham Terrace and are supported by the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Trust, highlighting the importance of collaboration in fostering inclusion and opportunity for women across Brisbane’s multicultural communities.
Event Details and Purpose
The workshops, to be held on Wednesday, 1 October, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, 4 October, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., are free to attend and include light refreshments.
The first session, Employment Readiness and Confidence, will focus on developing essential workplace skills such as résumé writing, interview techniques, and communication strategies. The second session, Self-Leadership and Cultural Inclusion, will help participants strengthen their leadership abilities while celebrating the value of cultural diversity within their communities.
These initiatives are designed not only to support women in finding meaningful employment but also to promote resilience and self-leadership through mentorship and shared experiences.
According to WMF’s Business Development Manager, Julia Lewis, the goal is to create a safe, encouraging space for women to connect and learn from one another, fostering both professional growth and community engagement.
Community Impact and Support
Through the support of the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Trust, the foundation has been able to deliver inclusive programs that bring together women of all ages and backgrounds. The WMF has long been recognised for empowering women who may face barriers to employment or social participation, helping them build confidence and purpose. These free workshops are another step in that mission, ensuring accessibility to vital resources that might otherwise be out of reach.
Participants are encouraged to register early through Humanitix, as places are limited. More information can be found by contacting WMF at info@womensmentoringfoundation.com or 0497 998 829.
