Women in Nontraditional Careers

|
|
|
Nontraditional careers (sometimes also called nontraditional occupations or NTOs) are those in which women make up less than 25 percent of the workforce. The pay, benefits and job satisfaction can be much higher than in traditionally female occupations.

These full-color posters are all 18” x 24” and are printed on heavy-weight paper. Each poster features nine women in a wide variety of careers. All of the women are from “real life; they are not models. The posters are $19.95 each; we also offer protective lamination for an additional $4.00 per poster. The posters are shipped rolled in tubes or, for a large quantity, flat in boxes. They are never folded.
