MadeIn Rail

1. Stereotypes: Outdated stereotypes persist, reinforcing the perception that certain roles in the rail industry are more suitable for men, discouraging women from pursuing careers in this sector.

2. Lack of Visibility: The absence of female role models in leadership positions within the rail industry can deter aspiring women from considering rail-related careers.

3. Workplace Culture: The traditionally male-dominated culture within the rail industry may not always be welcoming to women, impacting their job satisfaction and opportunities for advancement.

4. Recruitment Biases: Unconscious biases in recruitment processes can hinder the hiring and promotion of women, limiting their access to rail jobs and leadership positions.

5. Lack of Opportunity: Limited opportunities exist for women from diverse backgrounds in the rail and construction industry, largely due to the prevailing assumption that the barriers to entry are prohibitively high. This assumption, in turn, contributes to a systemic lack of inclusivity, making it challenging for women from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds to access and thrive in these sectors. The perceived difficulties in breaking into the industry further perpetuate gender disparities, hindering the realisation of a more diverse and equitable workforce.

Our Vision

At MadeIn Rail, we envision a future where gender parity is not only embraced but flourishes within the Victorian rail industry. Our vision is rooted in the belief that a diverse and inclusive workforce is the bedrock of innovation, resilience, and sustainable progress.

We envision a workforce that reflects the richness of our society and we aspire to be the change in the Victorian rail industry, setting new standards for gender equality, and inspiring other organisations to join us on this transformative journey.

In pursuit of our vision, MadeIn Rail is dedicated to implementing policies, practices, and initiatives that actively promote gender parity. Through strategic partnerships, mentorship programs, and a commitment to continuous learning, we aim to empower and uplift women in rail, ensuring their voices are heard and their contributions recognized.

At MadeIn Rail, we see a future where every woman in the Victorian rail industry has the opportunity to reach her full potential, where leadership positions are diverse and reflective of the broader community. Our vision is not just a commitment to our company; it's a pledge to contribute to the broader societal shift towards a more equitable and inclusive future.

Strategy

As a female owned and operated business, we understand the intricate landscape of hurdles faced by women in rail, the company aims to further champion inclusivity by focusing on providing opportunities to individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Notably, MadeIn Rail has chosen to initially concentrate on empowering women who have experienced domestic violence—a cause that holds personal significance for the company's leadership. This strategic emphasis on supporting survivors of domestic violence underscores the company's commitment to making a meaningful impact on both a professional and personal level.

Services

We are currently able to provide Safeworking services immediately to the industry and we are working on adding Trades including Labourers, drivers into the roster system. We will also aim to get a division that manages the white-collar labour including engineers and managers from the new financial year.
