Work 4 Women

The Work4Women project provided tools, strategies and a community to help increase women and girls' integration and retention in high-wage jobs that are considered nontraditional for women. Nontraditional occupations (NTOs) are jobs in which women comprise 25% or less of the workforce.

Work4Women.org was designed to:

• Interest women and girls in training for high-wage, nontraditional occupations
• Help women working in nontraditional occupations remain and advance in their careers
• Inform workforce development professionals and educators of effective methods to train, place and support women in nontraditional occupations

The resources below provide compressed information from the above website that is important to women seeking employment in nontraditional occupations.
