Career and Technical Education Programs for High-Wage, High-Skill Jobs: Eliminating Barriers & Improving Access for Girls

Jan. 23, 2008, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern (1 hour)

Women have made tremendous gains in education. But boys continue to be the vast majority of those who enroll in such traditionally male career and technical education courses as auto mechanics and construction, while girls still make up the majority in cosmetology, child care, health services, and other traditionally female courses. Traditionally male courses tend to result in higher-paying jobs -- so girls face serious economic consequences as a result of these education patterns.

In this webinar, participants learned about strategies for eliminating barriers for girls to nontraditional career and technical education programs.
