What is Freestyle?
"You can’t be what you can’t see"
Freestyle is a pathways program to help raise awareness, consideration and action for women and non-binary people who are interested in exploring a rewarding career in the building and construction industry.
The program is a joint initiative between the North Melbourne Football Club and Empowered Women in Trade who will combine their resources and experience to create safe pathways for young people in industries that have traditionally been male-dominated.
