Empowering Men and Women in Nontraditional Fields

Gender Equity at YCCC

The Gender Equity program at YCCC is dedicated to supporting students enrolled in non-traditional fields for their gender.  
So what exactly are the non-traditional fields? They are occupations in which less than 25% of one gender is enrolled or employed.  

Here are majors at YCCC that fall into this category. Download the brochures in the fields that interests you.

For WOMEN:

If you are interested in any of these fields contact the Department Chairs.
