Facing one of the worst workforce shortages in history, Britain needs all the talent it can get right now – from builders<\/a> to plumbers<\/a> and carpenters<\/a> to bathroom fitters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the trades industry is far from inclusive – it still uses outdated gendered job titles like \u2018tradesmen\u2019 as a collective term to describe ALL people, perpetuating inaccurate stereotypes and excluding anyone who doesn\u2019t associate as such. And this starts from a very young age in our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We, at Rated People, want to make it easier for more people, regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexuality to get into the industry and thrive. We\u2019re launching a nationwide brand campaign to highlight the need for greater diversity, inclusion and equity in the trades industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
