"Louisa was very attentive and keen to hear about my lived experiences as a woman of colour, and how employers can support underrepresented groups. I came out of the programme really feeling I had left a mark." - Rutendo Manyundwa, graduate quantity surveyor. Kier's Empowerment Programme is designed to support employees from underrepresented groups to develop into leadership roles. Each participant gets paired up with a member of Kier’s senior leadership team, giving both parties the opportunity to share experiences and learn from each other. Graduate surveyor Rutendo Manyundwa was paired with Kier’s chief people office, Louisa Finlay, giving Rutendo the platform to help Louisa understand more about the challenges underrepresented groups face and what needs to be done to support them going forward. In this blog, Rutendo shares her experience on the programme, the skills she’s picked up from it and what a graduate quantity surveyor gets up to at Kier.

Can you imagine not only fleeing your home but also having to give up your career and start from square one? Meet Mohsen, section engineer for Kier Natural Resources, Nuclear & Networks. He is an Iranian refugee who fled his home to protect himself and his family. He has been an engineer his whole life, but when he got to the UK, he was not able to return to his chosen field due to language and education barriers. That’s where RefuAid came in. RefuAid is a charity dedicated to helping refugees lead independent and dignified lives in the UK. They support refugees like Mohsen with language courses and financial support, and ensure that they have the relevant qualifications to succeed in the UK in their chosen field. We partnered with RefuAid in 2022, joining a consortium of companies dedicated to providing sustainable employment opportunities to refugees. Mohsen has been with us since 2022 and is thriving, bringing new ideas and diversity of thought to his project. If you want to learn more about Mohsen, watch his full video in the comments below.
