Women in the West Midlands looking for a new job are being encouraged to join a 6-week programme linked to future opportunities in the construction industry<\/h2>\n

The programme has been designed in partnership with Women into Construction<\/a>, HS2 Ltd, South and City College, West Midlands Combined Authority and Birmingham City Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As Birmingham gears up for the arrival of HS2, Britain\u2019s brand new railway which aims to transform the UK economy has created thousands of jobs up and down the country.<\/p>\n

Sitting at the heart of the new network, the West Midlands is already feeling the benefits of HS2<\/a>, and that trend is set to continue as major construction begins later this year.<\/p>\n

30,000 people will play a role in designing and delivering the new backbone to Britain\u2019s railway, and HS2 is eager to ensure that local people, under-represented and disadvantaged groups are amongst them.<\/p>\n

Kate Myers, HS2 Ltd\u2019s head of skills, employment and education, said: \u201cThis is a fantastic opportunity for women in the region<\/a> to find out more about HS2 and the role that they can play in transforming our railways and the UK economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHS2 opens up career opportunities in so many fields and this is a great way to find out about the jobs coming up. 7,000 people have already played a role in delivering HS2 and we want to see more women in the 30,000 roles the project will support.\u201d<\/p>\n

The programme comprises a 2-week employability course, which will include the opportunity for applicants to gain their CSCS card, followed by a 4-week work experience placement at one of a number of HS2\u2019s supply chain companies, in addition to opportunities for placements at HS2 Ltd.<\/p>\n

Work experience placements will be offered in a variety of roles including ecology, civil engineering, design and archaeology with West Midlands based companies including LMJV<\/a>, BBV, WSP<\/a>, Eiffage Kier<\/a> and Fusion.<\/p>\n

Kath Moore, managing director at Women into Construction, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be working with HS2 to enable women to access work-placements and potentially kick start their careers on this exciting project.\u201d<\/p>\n
