Fifty years ago, seeing a woman in a hard hat on a construction site was a rare sight. Between 1975 and 1986, only nine women graduated from EIT with a qualification in trades. Today, that number tells a different story—730 women earned trades qualifications from 2003 to 2023.
Graduates like Cerise Wilson, who completed EIT’s Carpentry Level 3 Programme, are part of this growth, showing the diverse range of people choosing careers in the trades today.
As EIT marks its 50th anniversary, these numbers highlight the evolution of trades education and the increasing opportunities available to all.
