About NTOs
This section includes:
What Are NTOs?
Nontraditional Occupations (NTOs) are jobs in which 25 percent or less of the workforce is female (U.S. Department of Labor).

Why Consider NTOs?
NTOs pay 20-30% more than jobs traditional held by women and offer excellent benefits and career advancement potential.

WOW encourages women and girls to consider, train for and remain in NTO careers because they can lead to their economic self-sufficiency, help support their families and build their assets to obtain a home or to pursue a higher education

This section provides information to help introduce women and girls, as well as workforce development professionals and educators working on their behalf to NTOs.
