Women in Non-Traditional Trades Project (WINT)

This programme has been funded by the Netherlands government with technical assistance from the ILO. It has been implemented to promote the entry of women into non-traditional trade and industry areas. Its components have included development of a trainers’ training programme for all instructors of the National Manpower and Youth Council, training of female instructors in non-traditional areas, and training of women in technology and industry. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (an agency of the Department of Labor and Employment),  is responsible technical education and skill development policies and programmes, and administers equal employment opportunities in training through the WINT programme.
