This series contains records related to Lynn Wall's work as a professor for the Introduction to Non-Traditional Occupations program (I.N.T.O.) at Algonquin College. The I.N.T.O. program was designed for women who wanted to explore occupations in trades, technologies, and other non-traditional fields which had previously been viewed as exclusive to men. The program ran for 8 weeks, and was divided into two parts : Life Skills and Career Planning, which took place in the classroom, and Work Experience, during which students obtained work placements for observation and on-the-job training. During the classroom section, women participated in training related to skill identification, goal setting and occupational surveying, time management, communication and assertiveness, mathematics practice, job search skills, and career counseling. For the work experience section, students were encouraged to explore various types of non-traditional employment, and on average secured 2 or 3 work placements over a three week period. Typical work placements include technical writing, carpentry, mechanics, policing, and more.
