Non-Traditional

What is a Non-Traditional Occupation?

Any occupation in which women or men comprise 25 percent or less of the occupation’s total employment force is considered non-traditional. This definition comes from the U.S. Department of Labor, and refers directly to individuals working in a specific occupation, not to students enrolled in a career or technical education program.
