WELCOME!

Men and women continue to work in traditional jobs. More men than women work in construction, engineering, technology and science and more women than men work in the 5 "C's"– catering, cleaning, clerical, cashiering and caring jobs such as child care and nursing. This website gives you information about breaking free of stereotypes so YOU can decide what works 4 you.

80% of girls and 55% boys said that they would or might consider working in a job that was usually done by the opposite sex.

So don’t let old ideas about what jobs are suitable for girls and boys limit your choices.

Francesca:

Some people end up doing jobs they really don't enjoy and don't want to do. Why end up in a job simply because that’s what men and women are supposed to do. We don't believe that, and many others don’t.

Make your job work 4 you!
