The Big Trust: Women in Construction Project

Today marked the last school based session for our Year 9 cohort.

Guest speakers have included female electricians, plasterers, managers and recruiters. Students  learned about their different roles, how to qualify, labour market information, why it's important to challenge stereotypes and consider a wide range of career opportunities.

Gail from HMS shared her experiences and the growing number of women in the construction industry, We'd like to thank Billie and Hannah for inviting us to take part in The Big Trust Project, and look forward to an off-site trip to consolidate our learning in the coming weeks.
