The EVIT Non-Traditional Committee is hard at work, brainstorming ways to overcome gender stereotypes and recruit students into programs that are historically known for attracting a specific gender.
Some industries tend to attract more female students: cosmetology, health, early childhood education, and massage therapy.
Others attract more male students: automotive technologies, collision repair, radio broadcasting and law enforcement.
But the Non-Traditional Committee wants to get the word out that at EVIT, these programs are for everyone and gender diversity is increasing. Committee members are even thinking about starting up a club, so these non-traditional students have a chance to meet each other and celebrate their successes.
What do you think? Is a club a good idea? How can the committee attract more female students to construction or more male students to early childhood education? We'd love your input -- leave your thoughts in the comment section below!
