Abstract
The aim of this brief is threefold. Firstly, it provides an overview of experience and best practice from employment and training initiatives that have sought to encourage young women to take up work in male-dominated sectors. Secondly, it describes YIEDIE's efforts in this area and to determine which have been the most useful for its young female participants. Finally, the brief draws out some elements for future programming.
