Technical trailblazer making a difference to women in STEM

摘要

HANSON technical production manager Emily Burridge has been selected as a finalist in this year's Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Awards, which recognize individuals who are achieving in their sector and show commitment to equality in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in the UK. Ms Burridge was the first female to join Hanson's Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD] apprenticeship programme and has been promoting both equality and apprenticeships as an opportunity for career progression in the construction industry since starting in 2015. She now joins the ranks of other inspiring women nominated in the WISE awards and is one of just three finalists selected in the Technician category, which paves the way in raising the profile of a technician as a career path for women who want a hands-on practical role.
