Addressed to women who are considering taking up full- or part-time employment or training or re-training later in life when family responsibilities are less pressing, this document may also help others who wish to or have to take up a different career. Focus is on employment and training opportunities in Great Britain. The first half contains sections giving a general picture of certain fields of employment that the authors believe appeal particularly to returners, together with some information about educational facilities and about sources of help and advice. Fields covered are social services, office work, industry and commerce, health and hospitals, work with children and young people and in education, and the arts. The second half of the publication is a directory which gives information about 70 specific careers, arranged alphabetically. Details about careers mentioned in the general sections will be found in the directory which describes normal entry requirements, length of training, upper age limits, and addresses of appropriate professional associations and training institutions.
