Exposing Women to New Career Options

Women have made big strides in many career fields that were once dominated by men - from law to medicine to the physically-demanding work of police and the military.
But construction work still is largely considered "a man's job."
A non-profit organization, CASA de Maryland, however, is training women for the construction trades in an effort to build self-esteem and better-paying careers.
Tona Cravioto is a organization senior manager for vocational training.
"The purpose of this training is to prepare women to have access to high-paying jobs in construction," says Cravioto.
"Our statistic shows there is a huge difference between the traditional jobs for women and construction jobs.  For example, you can get cleaning jobs for $8 per hour versus the minimum for a construction job is $13 an hour."
Over the nine-week course, participants learn the basics of electrical, carpentry, flooring, plumbing, drywall and tile work.
The Women's Economic Security Campaign, an advocacy group for low-income women, points out in a recent report that 99 percent of roofers are men earning an average wage of $16.17 per hour, while 98 percent of preschool teachers are women earning $11.48 per hour.
The report suggests it makes sound economic sense for low-income women to begin looking for a way into the construction business.
