Technical and craft professions are still mainly practised by men. Yet in many places companies are desperately looking for skilled workers. How important are female trainers in attracting more women to industrial-technical professions in industry and crafts? What do research and chambers, but also female trainers themselves, have to say about this? What can companies do to be attractive employers for women? Our topic dossier is dedicated to these questions.
What do statistics say about gender-specific differences in training, studies or the labour market? We have clearly presented facts and figures in the fact sheets. They make it clear how important it is to choose a career and study programme free of stereotypes.
Role stereotypes have an impact on career and study choices. That's no coincidence: clichés become established at an early age, even at the age of three to four children have very clear role models in their heads. Against this background, the thematic dossier is dedicated to the importance of early education for growing up free of clichés. Experts from science and practice have their say, as do parents. The topics range from the role of male educators to MINT education and gender marketing for toys.
If you ask children to draw people who practice a certain profession, you will quickly notice how gender stereotypes are already firmly anchored in their imagination. A person who builds or repairs something is a man. A person who takes care of old people or small children is a woman. The dossier questions these clichés and explains the advantages of a cliché-free career and study choice for each and every individual, the economy and society.
