How Do We Get More Women Into The Trades!

The Clive Holland Show

Wednesday, 24 September 2025 - 30 minutes

Last week, the CITB announced the Top 100 most influential women in construction. However, with just 15% of the construction industry made up of women and less than 2% in the skilled trades, Today I wanted to tackle the big question of how do we get more women into our industry?In order to close the skills gap and meet the housing targets, it's vital that women and girls start to show interest in and begin careers within our industry. But how do we increase the appeal?We spoke to Apprentice Connie Pawsey and successful Plasterer and business owner Steph Leese to hear their opinions. Plus, there's the pub lunch quiz, and you’ll hear some of the best messages we received!Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
