WomenCAN Australia forms part of a new Melbourne Initiative Set to Test How Investing in Social Enterprises Can Increase Employment Impact

Last week, we celebrated something truly special — the graduation of our very first Volvo Iron Women cohort.

When Talia began rethinking her future, she knew something was missing.
“I was really thinking about how I wanted my personal and work life to look,” Talia says. “I wanted something different—something more meaningful.”
That turning point led her to WomenCAN Australia.

For more than ten years, Emily held a learner’s licence that never quite turned into freedom.

WomenCAN Australia has partnered with Volvo Trucks and industry leaders to support more women into secure transport careers and strengthen Australia’s driver workforce.

Completing her Certificate in Individual Support -Aged Care was a milestone Simone will never forget. “At the end of it, I’m fully qualified, I’m trained, and a lot of doors have opened.”

Partnering with WomenCAN Australia, Torrens Transit is actively dismantling the stereotype that the transport industry is a “men-only” club, offering a pathway for women to gain accreditation, confidence, and long-term career stability.

WomenCAN Australia is proud to announce a major boost to our Driving to Employment Program, thanks to a $144,000 investment from the Allan Labor Government.

Meet Bille — 38 years old, proud cat mum, crafting enthusiast, and just four weeks into her first year as a mature-age electrical apprentice.

At 30, Poppy came to WomenCAN Australia with a clear and powerful goal: to get her driver’s licence.
