Community Engagement

While working on both the research paper and presentation there were many things I learned about the center itself and society. My topic was about the lack of women within the center. I was essentially asking why this was so. I learned that the jobs the center provides are usually heavy labor which women may not actually do. But why is this so. Women have the same needs to support themselves and or family and need an income. If most of the jobs provided within the center are these kinds of jobs then women should be trained to partake in these job fields. It is found that there is a low percentage of women within construction and landscaping, but technically they can be a part of it. They have every ability to do these kind of work, yet its not done. Therefore if these are not the kind of jobs that women do, this is a strong reasoning as to why women may not necessarily involve themselves as much as men within the center.
