Shewring from Illawarra TAFE and one of our former winners of the
Trade
Teacher of the Year Awards, has just completed a research paper funded
by the
National Association of Women in Construction and supported by Illawarra
TAFE
NSW. Fiona travelled to the USA to conduct research into the avenues for

You can view this important and insightful research paper on the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) website.
