Adverts aim to attract more women into property careers

On the back of a resurgence of interest in careers in property, land and construction, the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) will launch its first TV ad campaign tomorrow.

The ads aims to highlight the variety of career choices which exist within surveying and to encourage students to consider the profession as a career choice. The campaign will run on all the main Irish channels for three weeks in the first phase.

The latest CAO figures showed an increase of 28 per cent in first preferences for degree programmes in Built Environment, the highest increase that any sector has seen this year.
