Overview of the Study of Women in New Careers (WINC). Volume II. Final Report.
CONSAD Research Corp., Pittsburgh, PA.
This report presents the study of a project conceived as a means of developing and testing a model Career Development Program. The project was designed to contribute significantly to the opening of nontraditional occupations to young women of low socioeconomic status and varying race and ethnic backgrounds. Three major goals were: (1) To assist a pilot group of women in five selected cities to enter training and to find them training-related jobs, (2) to increase awareness of women's aptitudes and potential among themselves, counselors, instructors, job developers and employers, and (3) to identify barriers to the training and employment of women in nontraditional careers. Based on the career orientation experiences of this study, it is clear that there is a lack of high quality, current materials available to secondary, post-secondary, and manpower system institutions. While the career orientation materials developed for the Women in New Careers (WINC) project have been accepted for use by counselors and instructors in WINC sites, a revised, validated package is required before broad dissemination of materials is advisable.
