Building a More Inclusive Future Through Digital Knowledge

The DEEPIDEA platform brings together resources to help support students, educators, and professionals across the built environment sector.

The construction sector has historically lacked diversity, with recruitment practices favouring men and limited participation by women in higher education and professional roles.

Advances in digital technology present an opportunity to challenge traditional norms and create a more inclusive industry. However, significant digital literacy and access gaps hinder women from fully benefiting from these advancements.

DEEPIDEA seeks to leverage digital transformation to enable greater participation of women in the industry, aligning with South Africa’s National Development Plan for eradicating poverty and reducing inequality by 2030.
