Women in Construction Week, story 2 of 6.
Meet Kerry Geoghegan, who came to us after redundancy and chose our Department for Education funded Thermal Wall Installation with Carpentry Skills Bootcamp as a practical route into the industry after taking the Introduction to Construction Course at our Doncaster Skills Academy.

Kerry summed it up perfectly: “This course gave me the confidence and know-how to go self-employed.”

From day one she felt supported with guidance, information and PPE, and she especially valued learning core carpentry skills including tool use and maintenance.

Since completing the programme, Kerry has taken confident steps into self-employment, supported by extra IAG including digital marketing guidance and even help creating a logo.

Women in Construction Week, story 1 of 6.
Meet Andrea Allpress. After spotting our course at the Job Centre, Andrea took the leap into construction, gained her CSCS card, discovered a real passion for the industry, and went on to complete our Skills Bootcamp in Bricklaying (DfE funded).

Since training, Andrea’s career momentum has been incredible:
Site Assistant (internship) → Site Administrator → Mobilisation Administrator → Commercial Assistant → Trainee Quantity Surveyor → Contract Administrator → Commercial Administrator (Barratt Developments).

Andrea put it best: “My transition into construction gave me a space where my skills were valued and my confidence could grow.”

If you’re thinking about a career change, let this be your nudge. Construction needs talent, not stereotypes.
