Abstract
A mesh of social processes contribute to the predominance of women in a narrow range of low paid, low status and low skilled jobs. The views that women and girls themselves hold on the types of work for which they are best suited are one element of this mesh. Women's Training Roadshows are an example of strategies which aim to widen the options that are considered by schoolgirls as part of their transition from school to work. This paper locates Roadshows in the context of similar initiatives and goes on to consider some of the benefits of this approach.
