The study topic undertaken was "Enhanced access for
re-entry into education, training is seen to enable women
to achieve self-fulfilment and enhance employment
opportunities".
Thesis Proposition and Study Problem :
The topic was undertaken to study groups of women
during different stages of education, training to see
whether they did achieve self-fulfilment and had better
employment opportunities if they did have enhanced access
for re-entry into education, training.
The study briefly looks at the progress by women
chronologically, from the late nineteenth century until
today, noting the major changes that have given greater
gender eguity within the workplace.
Methodology :
The study focused on four different case studies;
each case study focusing on different women who were at
different stages of education, training. The study
ensured it also focused on women who had gone into nontraditional
roles to gain a greater insight as a result
of women being given greater access, whether it has
played a role in women having the opportunity to gain
greater career opportunities and self-fulfilment as a
result.
Results :
Some of the key results were that if women were
given the opportunities of education, training that they
were able to achieve self-fulfilment and their employment
opportunities were enhanced. It was also evident that
women were increasing in numbers to study at university.
There were a number of inequalities noted still, although
there have been a number of changes in recent times.
These changes were also noted, as well as the barriers
that are still evident.
The study identifies different areas within
education/employment whereby there are barriers and
inequalities. The changes in training/legislation are
also noted.
Conclusions :
The study is concluded by compiling the results of
the four case studies and presenting these as well as
other evidence from a variety of sources clarifying the
investigation that "Enhanced access for re-entry into
education, training is seen to enable women to achieve
self-fulfilment and enhance employment opportunities".
