The promotion of equality and diversity. The Construction Skills Investment Plan prepared by the Scottish Government stated the proportion of females in construction and related frameworks has increased slightly over time, from 1.6% in 2009/10 to 2% in 2013/14, however, it remains amongst the most gender segregated framework groupings. We will actively promote the many and diverse careers in construction to young women in schools and where possible, use positive female role models in these demonstrations.
