LSC urges women to consider skills training

The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) has urged women to consider training courses if they want to work in sectors which have traditionally been dominated by men.

According to the LSC, it is important that there are women working in theses sectors, which include construction, so that the next generation has female role models to aspire to.

These people, who could benefit from plumbing courses or Corgi gas training, would serve as inspiration for other women to take the plunge into the construction sector.

The LSC's Chris Banks said that women should ignore traditional roles and perceptions.

"If you are a woman and your passion is plumbing … then you should follow this dream, and not be limited by general gender perceptions," he explained.

"A new skill is a great thing to have, and the long term prospects of career progression and an increase in income are great benefits. The future really is in everyone's hands to make this happen for themselves."
