Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law barring sex discrimination in education programs, including career and technical education programs such as vocational training, internships, and apprenticeship programs. Title IX requires schools and colleges receiving federal funds to give women and girls an equal chance to succeed in career and technical education and to treat female students equally when it comes to recruiting, counseling and treatment in the classroom.
