This is not an issue for women – it’s an issue for everyone. Things are starting to change, but there is a long way to go, says Anna Beckett
During my time working in the construction industry, I have participated in several schemes designed to help schools improve their career programmes, particularly in relation to STEM. I have given talks, built structures from spaghetti, spoken to students in workshops and helped with mock university interviews.
While some of these events have been aimed at female students, I have tried to make sure that is not always the case.
