The theme for this year’s conference was ‘Vocational education and training systems, what works and why’ and the program was structured around four topics: VET systems; VET in developing countries; VET and economic and social development; and VET and special needs groups. This paper [part of the third topic] investigates non-traditional occupations (NTOs) and employment for women, exploring failures, successes and remaining barriers for women in the workplace; specifically those barriers that have remained impervious to the idea that this area of employment has the potential to promote economic independence and equality of opportunities for women.
