A rise in female electricians, plumbers and builders!
According to recent statistics, there is now twice as many women working in the trade industry than there was 10-years ago! This is great at the industry has always been male-dominated, however, these numbers are nowhere near what they should be. 33,000 women were out in the industry in 2019 and this number still seems small. There are an equal amount of opportunities out there for both male and females in trades like electrics, plumbing and bricklaying, for example, it is just about changing the perspective of who fills these roles. Here at Able Skills, we encourage anybody with a passion for a trade to take it one headfirst with our electrician courses, plumbing courses and other construction training. When we return to business, as usual, we hope to increase these numbers.

What can I do right now?
Well, if you are serious about becoming an electrician, for example, you can prepare yourself in the time being by checking out learning materials online and trying to get a grasp of the fundamentals of electrical theory. This will make your job easier when it comes to training with us and will put you a cut above the rest. There are so many available recourses online for electrical theory including thousands of videos on youtube. There is always an opportunity to learn, preparing yourself for our courses will also mean that you don't fall behind in any way and will benefit more and ultimately score higher when it comes to taking the assessments required to complete our electrician courses such as our Domestic Electrical Part-P Package for domestic installers or our Gold Card Approved Electrician Package for those looking to become fully-qualified and work outside of a domestic setting on sites like; commercial buildings, construction sites and so on.
