The WOMEN'STEC is an innovative organisation in Northern Ireland which aims to provide facilities to advance women's involvement in sectors of training and employment in Construction and IT, and specifically women who are socially and economically disadvantaged.
The WOMEN'STEC was born of a recognised need for non traditional training for women in Northern Ireland. "Non Traditional Training" refers to training for jobs in industry sectors with historically low female representation (Construction, IT but also Transport Driving - Lorries, Planes and Trains, Investment Banking, Catering - Chef, Sommelier)...
Traditionally women have not opted for or been trained in Construction and IT jobs, and even today they represent a minuscule percentage of trainee places across the North and South of Ireland as a whole.
The WOMEN'STEC is unique in that we support women to address the barriers that prevent them from embarking on a career in industry. Whether this is lack of childcare, problems with travel, financial implications or lack of confidence to go into a male dominated industry, we will support them in overcoming these issues.
We are compliling a directory of trades women for 2007.
