And another one here. Excerpt:

'An employment programme in Lambeth is aiming to tackle the lack of women in construction by offering a dedicated course to help kick start new careers in the industry.

Women make up just 10% of the construction workforce with just 1% in manual professions, despite the industry being one of the biggest and most important in the UK.

Now Live Train is offering a free programme, starting with a trade taster day on the 23 July, for potential candidates to try their hand at a number of construction trades including carpentry, tiling, bricklaying, plumbing and plastering.'
