Student Success
Non-traditional programs are those programs where 25 percent or less of the workforce in that occupation is comprised of the gender traditionally not employed in that career. Those program students are indentified as “under-represented gender students in non-traditional programs” or “non-traditional program students.”
Both traditionally male and female occupations areas need highly skilled workers. Increasingly, gender does not matter if the person has the skills required for that occupation.
Women in non-traditional occupations, such as welding, drafting, criminal justice and computers usually earn more than they would in a traditionally female occupation.
Men who in the past have been discouraged from entering jobs predominately held by women are often finding greater satisfaction and more opportunities in areas such as early childhood education, cosmetology, accounting and healthcare.
