School News Study of rural women’s jobs begun Vanceboro Elementary School Menus tt 0 % By Kathy Cunningham UNC News Bureau The first study of career development in rural women and girls has begun at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Education. The two year project has re ceived $86,018 from the Women’s Education Equity Act Program for its first year of funding. Project Director Dr. Nancy L. Voight, assistant professor in the School of Education, said the lack of information available on the educational and labor needs of rural females were dis covered after a 1977 review by the National Advisory Council of Women’s Educa tional Programs. The re view searched for needs assessment data of females in four rural communities across the nation, but found rural females to be an “unknown population.” Among the four rural com munities was the Apala- chian community of Boone, N.C. North Carolina is the ideal location for conducting such research, Voight said, because of the wide variety of rural communities across the state from the coastal regions to the mountains. “We could make a large generalization from North Carolina to the rest of the South.” she added. The project, concerned with closing the gap bet ween actual guidance prac tice and modern guidance theories, will be divided into four parts - guidance, research, in-service training and support. Guidance will involve the distribution of guidance materials to rural women and institutions. Voight and her colleagues already have published “Becoming,” a self-help book for high school graduates. In the second year of the project, they hope to publish an edition for non-high school graduates and for institu tional use. The largest part of the project, the research, will involve seven different stu dies that will gather infor mation about the rural fe male population, Voight said. The studies will include two analysis that will sift data on rural females from in-depth studies already conducted on broad female populations: and a replica tion of three studies con ducted on urban Northern men that measure fear of success, expectation of suc cess and stages of career development. There also will be a study on the effects on families when women become career- oriented and a study on needs assessment. During the second year, Voight said, the project will provide training in six North Carolina towns, as yet undetermined, that have community college and/or some industry. This involves women leaders in the community conducting workshops that would help local institutions to see the needs of rural women. “We need to sensitize institu tions to women who might be coming back to school or to work,” she said. “Guidance has been avail Watch For Our GrandOpeningSoon Vanceboro Pharmacy Mike Morton, Registered Pharmacist Corner of Form Life Ave. & Main Street Vanceboro, N.C. 244-1086 Prescriptions, Sundries, Gifts. able in the past,” she added, ’’but has not been adequate to meet what’s facing them today. Society has changed since they’ve been in school.” For in stance, she said some rural women have higher aspira tions because new health facilities have moved into their communities offering new opportunities in techni cal careers in place of lot of farming work. “Guidance has to deal with the new realities of life.” The support segment of the project will involve the community women getting together themselves to dis cuss their problems and to help on another. The com munity colleges have ex pressed a desire to learn about new guidance techni ques for the rural women in their community, she said. “A lot of teachers in the community colleges are rural women themselves,” she said, “but the fact that they’ve gone to college often alienates them from the rest of the rural com munity.” Some rural women have shown interest in receiving help concerning their edu cational and labor needs, she said. “The Appalachian women, who were already encountered in the 1977 review, have come together to seek help.” The project hopes to pass on the new trends in educa tion and guidance to the rural communities. . After the project is completed, she said, the findings will be shared by the rest of the guidance communities. “Educational equity, the goal of the new project, is not limited to fancy liberal communities,” she said. Voight teaches counseling psychology and is also a counselor at the University Counseling Center.
