Diversity in the Workplace

What do you want to be when you grow up? Don't worry -- you don't have to make up your mind yet! There are many options for you to choose from, whether you're a boy or girl.

Is this true all over the world? It is becoming more true as more and more women work outside the home. In some Middle Eastern countries, however, girls are still discouraged from going to school and working. In Russia, on the other hand, most doctors are women.

In many rural areas, traditional jobs for both men and women are slow to change. In Malawi, for example, farming is still a man's job, while making felt to cover yurts (tent-like homes) is a woman's job among the Turcoman of Iran.

There are many different job choices at NCEH and none of them are for men or women only. However, for many jobs, workers must go to special schools or do other jobs first.
