Be Part of the Change Episode 1: Women in the Built Environment - with Charlotte Thackeray

University of the Built Environment

The built environment comprises a diverse and exciting range of sectors, but there is still a lack of representation at every level. We want this to change.

'Be Part of the Change’ is an awareness campaign with the purpose of celebrating the incredible success stories of our under-represented students, apprentices and alumni, as well as highlighting their challenges.
It's also an opportunity to highlight the positive practices our employers are actioning within their organisations to inspire other companies in their approach.

In the opening episode of our new Be Part of the Change podcast, Charlotte Thackeray, Outreach and Inclusion Lead at UCEM, is joined by the podcast’s three hosts, Drew Greenhalgh, Ellie Garside and Ummi Mahinoor.
The topics discussed on this episode include:

• Why they’re pursuing careers in the built environment
• The role models that inspired them to enter the industry
• The work their employers are doing to support women and EDI
• What the sector needs to do to encourage more women to enter the industry
