Hello All,
I saw Today in the `Installer` online Magazine [used to be CORGI`s Gas Installer Magazine] that the NICEIC are going to offer a Bursary to encourage Women to become Electricians - here is a link to that article:
NICEIC launches bursary to encourage female electricians into the industry - Installer Online - http://www.installeronline.co.uk/33963-2/
They have been disappointed that their 2011 initiative `Jobs for the Girls` has not produced the number of Women wanting to become Electricians that they envisaged.
Is it just Me or does the title `Jobs for the Girls` seem a bit patronising to the Women that they were hoping to attract ?
I think that I read in the article that Women only make up 2% of registered Electricians in the UK.
The article suggests that `The sexist attitudes and misogyny of a bygone era are thankfully on the wane` and that more Employers are prepared to give Women a chance in the Industry.
