NON-TRADITIONAL OCCUPATIONS
CVTC receives federal grant support for Non-traditional Occupation (NTO) students through the federal Carl D. Perkins Career & Education Act. Non-traditional occupations (NTO) designated programs represent careers in which less than 25% of the workforce is made up of one gender. Today, many women and men are breaking down barriers to pursue successful careers in NTO fields.
Diversity Resources staff can offer support, advocacy, and resources while you are exploring a non-traditional program at CVTC.
