Programs funded through the federal Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act sex equity set aside are required to provide occupational education in high wage, high skill, and nontraditional careers. Equity standards in New Jersey have been developed by the Gender Equity Coordinator in conjunction with the three statewide Career Equity Assistance Centers. This bulletin, one of a series reporting on Perkins Act funding in New Jersey, reports on the change in knowledge concerning equity standards for participants in single parent/displaced homemaker and sex equity programs. Data were collected from 113 program participants in program year 1995 through a survey testing knowledge of equity standards. All groups showed an increase in scores between the pre- and posttests, although that increase was not significant for all ethnic groups and ages. Posttest scores demonstrated that every group showed more knowledge concerning sex equity as a result of program participation. It is recommended that sex equity programs be continued and expanded so that more participants can benefit from them. Increased opportunities for participation in activities that increase knowledge of gender equity are essential. (Contains 3 figures and 8 refernces.) (SLD)
