SETU, Glenveagh announce first recipients of Women in Construction STEM scholarships
South East Technological University (SETU), in partnership with Glenveagh, along with NUA, its manufacturing brand, have selected four students for its Women in Construction STEM Scholarship for construction-related courses at SETU’s Dept of Built Environment. Scholarships were awarded to successful applicants enrolled on years’ one and two of the Bachelor’s degree courses in construction management, quantity surveying, and architectural technology.
The students receiving scholarship awards were Daisie Summer Cullen Dunne, Caitlin Flynn, Aishling Maguire, and Jessica Mc Call.
Dr Eoin Homan, Head of Dept of Built Environment & Extended Campus, said: “At SETU we place huge value on the strong relationship that has developed with Glenveagh. The initiative is significant and a potentially powerful means of promoting more balanced gender representation within a sector that provides a significant contribution to the Irish economy and Irish society in general.”
Paula Voiseux, HR Business Partner at Glenveagh, said: “Glenveagh has forged a strong relationship with SETU’s Dept of Built Environment in Carlow over the last number of years and has welcomed a number of work placement students and graduates of quantity surveying and construction management… Our Women in STEM scholarship partnership was designed to support talented female students in a predominantly male industry. We’re proud to be a leading employer in our industry with a commitment to 30% female graduate intake. We look forward to welcoming more work placement and graduate students from SETU’s various programmes in the future.”
