About the Elevate initiative​

The automotive industry is lagging behind in terms of female employment and management. Fewer than 15% of the total people employed in the automotive industry are female, and women represent only 8% of automotive industry executives. To help create balance, we need to build capability so that talented women can grow and lead.

The Elevate Initiative comprises two exclusive leadership development programs for women in the automotive industry offered through Women & Leadership Australia. The initiative reflects a deep commitment throughout the Automotive industry to increasing the representation of women in formal leadership positions and to improving gender equality.

To support the initiative, Women & Leadership Australia will be offering 25 partial scholarships for each program to talented women across all areas of the automotive industry. Each partial scholarship will cover 50% of the program fee.

Thanks to the generous support of St.George and other valued sponsors a limited number of full scholarships will also be available reducing the cost to $0.

All potential participants will be required to complete a written application and to indicate their intention to apply for a full scholarship, partial scholarship or both.
