Participants in the three-week course in Birmingham
Chartered Building Company and CIOB Training Partnership McDermott Building and Civil Engineering – a groundworks and civil engineering company based in Birmingham – held its first women-only Introduction to Construction course in May.
The three-week course, run with the aim of introducing more women into the industry, provided an insight into some of the careers available as well as experience of groundworks and bricklaying.
The course – run in partnership with Salutem, a training provider specialising in construction apprenticeships – included sessions on challenging perceptions of women in construction, understanding drawings, a one-day health and safety course and a practical CSCS test.
