Happy Birthday Ken Hunter August 7. Employment for women More women than ever are entering the work force. Yet unemployment is greater than it has been at any time since the depression. And at the same time, the very jobs women have traditionally counted on are undergoing rapid technological change. What then, are realistic employment, op- tions for women? In order to help women select employ- ment choices that hold some promise for the future, the YWCA of Metropolitan Toronto has published a handbook Working in the 1980's: 20 Selected Jobs for Women. Each job description outlines information about the nature of the work, training re= quirements, future prospects, salary, and advancement opportunities.. According to Jeanne Eddington, YWCA Working Skills for Women Co-ordinator, the handbook grew out of experience in the Working Skills program ,which trains women to adapt to the impact of technology on the work force. -This handbook is written for women who want better jobs," says Ms. Eddington. "It will be useful for women needing to re-train, women considering non-traditional or computer-related occupations,' women sear- ching for a new career direction, young women seeking a career with a future, women re-entering .the work force. In addi- tion, it will be very useful for high school guidance counsellors, employment counsellors and vocational advisors." The jobs selected for inclusion in the guide were chosen because they satisfied some, or all, of the following criteria: 'a training period of one, two, or at most, three years; availability of training at a community col- lege level; possibility in many cases ofon- the-job training and pail -time study; good earning potential; likelihood of being around for the next 10-20 years; availability, in some cases, of federal training funds. Copies of Working in the , 1980's: 20 Selected Jobs For Women are available from the YWCA, Resource Development Department, 80 Woodlawn Ave. E., Toronto, M4T 1C1 (Tel: 961-8100) at a cost of $3.50 plus $1.50 postage and handling.
