“It’s an opportunity to meet
women who have taken control of
their lives, who have had the cour-
age to go into non-traditional
fields and to succeed,” Dr. Norma
Kerby says of the one-day semi-
nar, Women in the Workforce:
Non-traditional Career Opportuni-
ties, to be held Friday,,Oct. 18 at
the Women's Centre (4542 Park
Avenue) in Terrace.

As part of the Women’s Re-Entry
Project, this introduction to trades
and technology highlights the
experiences of local women cur-
rently working in areas including
forestry, transportation, communi-

cations, and other non-traditional .

jobs. “They are opening the door
to these fields for other women,
showing that it is feasible,” Dr.
Kerby says.

The seminar starts at 9:30, with
Dr. Kerby providing an overview
of non-technical, technical, and
university career fields, and allow-
ing time for the participants to dis-
Cuss issues with other women who
have juggled family responsibili-
ties and non-traditional jobs.

The afternoon session will focus
on the specifics of non-traditional

training and employment, looking

particularly at skilled trades and
high technology opportunities in
the Terrace area. The seminar will
conclude with information and
registration for a new 18-week
program starting Oct. 28, explor-
ing trades and technology for
women returning to the workforce.
“The number of women working
in non-traditional fields is increas-
ing — it's becoming almost com-
mon,” Dr. Kerby says. .
