Sixteen DVDs and a Poster Celebrate Women in Nontraditional Careers

Women in Nontraditional Careers Poster

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 traditional female occupations.

The 16 DVDs in this series, produced by Jocelyn Riley, are ideal for vocational counseling, career exploration days, library programs, scout and youth groups, one-stop centers, Women’s History Month, and Women’s Equality Day. Using first-person narrative stories, based upon extensive interviews, they present oral histories of a wide range of vocations in a concise way. They can stand alone or be used with their 114-page resource guides as an effective program. All DVDs are closed captioned (CC).

Talking personally and directly about their lives, the women in these DVDs express the rewards and challenges of their nontraditional careers.
