NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC launches bursary to encourage female electricians into the industry

[SparkyChick]

just goes to show how far we are from equality!

Equality of what exactly?

but for a young women, people aren't queuing up to recommend it to them. Oh wait, that's exactly what this scheme is.

For the record, I have no problem with any schemes designed to enlighten women, but as soon as you start offering financial incentives it should be open to everyone. If it's not, it's sexism in it's purest form plain and simple, and that's called affirmative action, which is out and out wrong!

The shocking figures speak for themselves TBH.

Yeah, after 7 years they've not been able to change the gender balance much... maybe... just maybe that suggests there isn't actually a problem?

not empowering women is everyone's failing.

So, are you equally bothered by the under representation of men in biological sciences, medicine and dentistry, agriculture and related subjects and veterinary sciences?

Not empowering men in those fields is everyone's failing!

John duffel. What figures are 'shocking ' ?

I read that to be the fact that only 2% of the people on the tools are female.

all i have to look at for an example is zimbabwe post mugabe, giving farms to non farmers and slaughtering the only ones making food for the entire country.

then 10 years later mugabe is whining and moaning that his tummy is rumbling

I sort of knew that. Just wanted to know why he thought it was shocking.

Become a proud dad , a great feeling

Being a dad is cool... You get to act like a kid again... not that I ever stopped.
You can suddenly stand up and put your arms out like Frankenstein and shout "TICKLE MONSTER!" and watch the combination of joy are fear in your kids faces as you chase them round the room.
You also get to embarrass them by lifting up your top and dance round the living room while your kids cover their eyes and the missus just gives you that "not again" look. Or when they complain about you in public, I just like to say "But I'm the best dad you've ever had." To which I always get "But you are the only one we've had."
Best of all is then they say "I love you.."

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo offended and have been triggered by the blatant sexism, homophobia, transphobia and racial discrimination by the horrible Donald Trump-supporting Nazis, fascists and anti-Semites at the NICEIC. For the sake of inclusiveness, diversity and equality, bursaries should also be offered to disabled, black, gay, Muslim, transsexual, unemployed, single-parent, refugees who self-identity as bisexual lesbian unicorns.
