Martel Wheatley principal Melisa Wheatley and Alex&ria digital communication director Alex Kelly are guest presenters at the series that starts on Wednesday.

The free program, which is for both women and men, is being presented by The Exchange in partnership with North Construction and Building to equip the industry for growth.

Ms Wheatley is a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA) with more than 20 years in the industry.

Her experience with small business started early, holding the tape measure at a young age for her father, a carpenter, and later became a business advisor for him and many other clients.

Ms Kelly's career spans a decade and she has spent the past four years growing her own business.

She will help program attendees mind map their business, lock in their target demographic and help them get on track with marketing.

The Exchange community manager Minna Demetriou said one of the main value pillars at The Exchange was to support the community.

"The success of the construction businesses lies in the scalability and professional operation of subcontractors on every job site," she said.

"We need to help scale the trades, and to do this, we need to back the women working on and behind the scenes."

Ms Demetriou encouraged everyone involved in the construction industry to attend, and said it was a chance for sub-contractors based in the Orana region to meet North Construction managing director Matthew Cook.

"It's a great opportunity for like-minded people to come together, listen to some great content from local presenters over cheese and wine," Ms Demetriou said.

"Thanks to the partnership between The Exchange and Charles Sturt University (CSU) this event will be hosted at the CSU Dubbo campus."

North Construction is proud to be sponsoring the two-part event series.

North corporate services manager Nicole Redmond said since joining the company in 2011, she had worked hard to advance diversity in the industry as a whole.

"In my efforts to expand our work placement, apprenticeship and cadetship programs over the years, targeting women and girls has been a focus," she said.

"We are beginning to do more in high schools to trigger interest in the construction industry early and work to change out-dated perceptions held by parents, career advisors and other key influencers."

Registration can be done through Eventbrite and closes on Wednesday afternoon.
