Summary:This paper aims to explain how insulation manufacturer Rockwool has stepped up its efforts to get more women into senior manufacturing jobs by signing up for a programme to help female production workers to climb the management ladder. It details the reasons for the programme, the form it takes and the results it has achieved. It reveals that ten women from Rockwool have earned accredited Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) qualifications to help them to climb the career ladder, and two have since been promoted, after taking pan in Agile Nation Ascent, which is run by the women's economic-development body, Chwarae Teg, to boost women's confidence, unlock their management talents and provide them with a recognized qualification.
