Nontraditional Occupations

Shake Things Up!

A nontraditional occupation (NTO) is any job in which your gender makes up less than 25 percent of the workforce — for example, women in the skilled trades or men in healthcare. We love seeing our students break through barriers in industries historically dominated by one gender. Those working in NTOs may find:

  • Increased job satisfaction
  • Higher wages
  • More job opportunities
  • Good benefits
  • More opportunities for advancement
