Breaking Barriers. Building Futures.
The construction industry has long been one of the most male-dominated sectors, with women making up less than 16% of the workforce in Northern Ireland and only 9% in Ireland.
GRASP is committed to changing that narrative through our Women into Construction Green Skills Academies, a dedicated programme designed to empower women, increase diversity, and future-proof the sector.
Why this matters
The demand for skilled professionals in sustainable construction is growing rapidly. As we move toward net zero carbon targets, the sector needs fresh talent and innovative perspectives.
Women bring unique skills and insights that can drive change and foster inclusive growth. Our academies are designed to remove barriers and create pathways for women to thrive in this evolving industry.
