The purpose of the study was to contribute to a better understanding of the aspirations and interests of women entering training programs in nontraditional careers. Women have tended to make career choices within a very narrow range of traditional jobs such as secretarial, teaching, and nursing. These careers tend to be low-paying as compared to nontraditional jobs in careers areas of industrial technology, science, and computers where women represent a very small percentage of the workforce. This study searched for answers to the following questions: (1) What are the activities, competencies, occupational interests, and self-estimates profile of women who have entered nontraditional career training programs in Northwestern Minnesota? (2) To what extent does participation in team sports, early tool use, pre-enrollment training, age, congruency of personality profile to career training choice, and parents' career choices influence the decision to enter a nontraditional career training program? Data were gathered using a mailed survey composed of the Self-Directed Search (SDS) to which additional background questions were added. The population of this study was women who have entered post-secondary training programs in nontraditional careers in Northwestern Minnesota. The study finds a high percentage of participants experienced team sports, shop classes, and hand tool use. An unusual finding was a high frequency of Realistic and a low frequency of Investigative ratings, along with unstable rating permutations. Participants' scores were more closely in agreement to the occupation codes of participants' fathers than with mothers' scores. The study also found a high rate of aspirations of occupations closely matching codes and permutations of the codes.
