Programs

"OPEN DOORS "

Open Doors is a program which connects girls and boys with women who work in a variety of occupations. The Open Doors program has a registry of role models in many different fields who are available to teachers for career-related activities. These role models have successful careers in non-traditional fields such as construction, engineering, transportation and high-technology and know both the hardship and the exultation of breaking new ground. An Open Doors role model may visit the classroom, address students, grant personal interviews or offer visits in their place of work. Should your board, school or association wish to set up an Open Doors program, the Ontario Women's Directorate will provide consultation and print and ausio-visual materials to facilitate the process.
