FOUNDED by Mikaela Stafrace in 2019, WomenCAN Australia is a registered charity which assists women to reconnect with the workforce by helping build women’s confidence, connections and work capability.

Their goal is to break the cycle of disadvantage and crisis through peer support, upskilling, and training, with their model designed by women who understand the barriers that can hold women back in seeking meaningful employment. Their ‘Earn and Learn’ approach assists women to find employment in the aged and disability care sectors while gaining invaluable skills.

Last year they successfully launched their Aged Care Traineeship program in Bendigo, Mildura and surrounding shires, and they are currently training 200 women as personal care assistants and ancillary staff, with the goal of placing them into immediate employment with quality aged care providers in the region.

“The courses undertaken by our participants are designed to prepare graduates to obtain an apprenticeship or traineeship in the related trade. They are designed for school leavers and other new entrants to the workforce and give learners a taste of what it’s like to work in a particular trade, with hands-on live and simulated practical work as well as theory,” explained Mikaela, CEO and founder of WomenCan Australia.
