What is a Non-Traditional Occupation (NTO)?
Non-Traditional Occupations (NTO) are careers that currently employ 25% or less of one gender. Women in welding and men in nursing are examples. Advantages of non-traditional occupations include: higher wages, good benefits, advancement opportunities and work you enjoy.
Following your passion offers many rewards, especially in NTO careers. Still there can be challenges as you pave the way for yourself and others.
