Occupations Open to Women Apprentices Increase
A new Department of Labor leaflet from the Women's Bureau promotes women in apprenticeships. It notes a 72 percent rise in women in apprenticeship programs in 1969 and lists occupations such as pharmaceutical technician, gyro repairer, dental technician, electronic computer repairer, aircraft instrument mechanic, and baker. Apprentices earn during training with a typical 2 to 4 year path to journeyman status, starting at about half the skilled wage and raises every six months. Copies cost 10 cents each with bulk discounts from the Government Printing Office.
