“With key skills in areas of work traditionally dominated by men, such as construction, engineering and transportation at a huge shortage, and major infrastructure projects, like the East London Line, Thames Gateway and the 2012 Games just 5 years away, there has never been such an economic imperative for London to attract and retain the best talent.

I am determined that women in London will play a valued and equal role in building the future of London’s economy. We want all companies we work with to demonstrate that women are being developed and trained at all levels, helping them to get into sustainable and engaging work and that they are taking steps to open up the field at management and senior levels.

The pilot project being run by Everywoman Ltd to provide women in construction engineering and transport with much needed skills development, particularly in the area of management, will greatly assist companies in this area.”

Through the Train to Gain UK Pilot fund, everywoman will provide management qualifications and skills training for women employed in construction, engineering and transport in London.
