Statistics show that girls typically choose traditionally viewed female career paths such as hairdressing, beauty or childcare. Salaries linked to these professions are lower, employment less secure, and progression opportunities limited. This compares unfavourably to
traditional male professions such as those in construction or engineering where salaries are higher and there are more opportunities for career progression. So why is this the case? Why are women under-represented? Sadly, a large part of the problem stems from the misconceptions that some jobs are “just for boys."
Our social impact is simple, create training opportunities and employability pathways for females in non-traditional sectors. From taster sessions in joinery for Primary 7’s to tiling masterclasses for young mums. If it’s needed, we offer it. However, we need your support to make sure our good work continues. Do you have a passion to support us?
We need to expand our eco-system to have people like you supporting us. If we are to challenge these misconceptions, we need advocates to help us do it. Supporting us means supporting females who have lots to offer.
