WaMT won the award for best career development initiative for our 3:2 programme
With only 2% of women working in trades in construction, companies must harness the power and skills of women to help address the skills crisis within the construction industry.
How do we ensure students studying to work in the construction industry go on to work in the sector once qualified? At Women and Manual Trades we recognise there is a real challenge retaining female students in the construction sector once qualified.
The issues can stem from the reality of working in construction being very different to the dream. 3:2 is designed to secure students studying a trade paid work in the construction sector on the 2 days a week they have free from college.
The initiative is designed to support more students to progress from full time college courses into work in construction by allowing the students to gain real ‘on site’ experience, building their confidence as they work towards final qualification.
