The Women's Secretariat of the Government of Alberta coordinates the province's Stepping Stones Program, which provides occupational role models to girls and boys in junior and senior high school. Through classroom presentations, students meet and interact with women who are successfully pursuing occupations considered non-traditional for their gender. Students learn about the changing workplace, and young women, in particular, see that career choice need not be limited by gender. They are encouraged to explore all occupational options, and to choose a career based on their interests, abilities and aptitudes. 1, record 5, English, - Stepping%20Stones%20Program

Grâce aux exposés présentés en classe, les étudiants et étudiantes ont la chance de rencontrer des femmes qui ont réussi à poursuivre des carrières non traditionnelles. Les étudiants se familiarisent avec les changements du marché du travail, et les jeunes femmes de manière plus spécifique, peuvent se rendre compte que le choix de carrière n'est pas en relation avec le sexe. Les jeunes femmes sont encouragées à explorer toutes les possibilités de carrières et à effectuer un choix de carrière en fonction de leurs intérêts, de leurs aptitudes et de leurs capacités. 1, record 5, French, - Stepping%20Stones%20Program
