A study explored the results of programs designed to move women into traditionally male jobs (both managerial and blue collar) in ten public utility companies. The focus of the study was on the experiences of 164 women in such jobs and on the attitudes of their supervisors, male peers, and subordinates toward the companies' attempts to overcome job discrimination based on sex. The study also explored the impact of the women's new job patterns on their relationships with peers, parents, husbands, male friends, and children. The findings indicated that the experiences of the ten companies were considerably more positive than negative. Most of the women were seen to be performing well in their new jobs, although those in blue collar positions encountered more difficulties in the form of inadequate prior training and harassment from male peers. There was also considerable evidence that negative attitudes and expectations on the part of male supervisors and peers were likely to change… [PDF] (1980).

A project was conducted to provide women, minority, veteran, and handicapped college students with a structured cooperative education work experience which would enhance career selection and mobility and provide supervised employment in fields related to the students' interests and academic majors while supplying the employers with trained workers. Seventy-two students were placed in supervised work-training positions with fifty-three participating employers during the 1975-76 academic year. Both the students and employers involved in the project evaluated it positively. Placing handicapped and minority male students at work-training stations proved to be the most difficult task. One hundred seven responses to a questionnaire mailed to 234 community college cooperative education programs indicated that the programs most affected by the 1975-76 economic recession were in the east, south, and central areas of the country and that there was an improvement in the economy in the first… (2001).

Characteristics of Incoming Freshmen Commuter Students, 1973-75. Research Report #6-75. University Student Census (USC) data of incoming freshman commuters at the University of Maryland, College Park, for 1973, 1974 and 1975 are examined.
