SummitSkills promotes building services to teenage girls
Published: June 2008
SummitSkills played host to an interactive skills event for girls aged 16 to 18 at the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering & Technology. The event was designed to raise awareness of building-services engineers and the career opportunities it holds — up to Chartered Engineer status. One person who attended the event subsequently contacted SummitSkills interested in doing work experience, and is now considering the sector as a career. High achievers from schools across the north west of England were tasked with a mix of activities to provide a genuine flavour of building-services engineering. They included quizzes, computer-aided design, a visit to a large building-services plant and control room and time spent completing the SummitSkills ‘Summit holiday village’ interactive game. Local MP Claire Curtis-Thomas (right in picture) gave inspirational advice at the one-day event at Liverpool John Moores University and was joined by several female sector ambassadors championing their roles and routes to employment.
