Roadshows
Reaching them while they're young
Inspiring girls and young women to consider a career in property
and construction is a motivating experience, as many members have
found. Across the country, WiP volunteers are attending
school workshops and careers talks. Our leaflet "Jobs for the
Girls" can be downloaded here.
Two larger scale events held recently include the O2 Roadshow,
run by the South East branch and a major careers event in Leeds,
attended by the Yorkshire and North East branch.
