Non-Traditional Occupations

Wisconsin Job Centers provide equitable and unrestricted job information to all customers. This includes referral activities that are not based on stereotypes of what is considered traditional women's and men's work.

There are occupations that are considered Non-Traditional Occupations (NTO) for women and men, defined by the US Department of Labor as occupations in which 25% or fewer workers are either women or men.
